Book Description
Longitudinal student tracking systems now serve a multitude of masters. Growing accountability demands from states, accreditors, and the federal government prominently feature such measures as persistence and graduate rates and time-to-degree. At the same time, resource shortfalls are driving institutions and state higher education systems to examine their operations more carefully in order to achieve greater coherence and efficiency; understanding and monitoring student flow is a prominent part of this effort. In light of these developments, student tracking has come of age. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research describes important changes in the requirements for student tracking data bases and examines the expanding technical possibilities provided by statewide administrative data bases and by the availability of greatly enhanced data-manipulation and statistical tools for constructing and analyzing longitudinal data files. This is the 87th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Book Description
Assessment programs and practices often are proclaimed as central components of the community college enterprise. However, the myths that have become part of the assessment lore are sometimes more widespread than the realities. Assessment and testing, while necessary and worthwhile activities, can be confusing, expensive undertakings that may or may not contribute to the effectiveness of an institution. This volume of New Directions for Community Colleges addresses the realpolitik of assessment and testing from a variety of perspectives and examines the possible shortcomings, threats, and benefits inherent in each. The practical considerations, strategies, recommendations, and assessment methodologies presented in this issue serve as a guide to assessment and testing for the novice as well as the seasoned professional.
