Georgia is building a new database that will gather student information from Kindergarten through graduate school.<\/p><\/div>\n

Georgia is taking tracking student progress to the next level<\/a>. The state is working on a system that will keep track of student data from pre-K through graduate school.<\/p>\n

Georgia is using a federal Race To The Top grant<\/a> to create a statewide database.<\/p>\n

Researchers will look for trends \u2013 good or bad \u2013 as students move to the next grade level. Information will be shared among seven agencies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Education recently launched a searchable web tool<\/a> that provides details about the number of college graduates and how much money they earn.<\/p>\n

Florida has been collecting data on student progress for decades<\/a>, like coursework and test scores among high school students. But the FDOE hasn\u2019t compiled all the information from childhood to college into a one stop, searchable database.<\/p>\n

Accountability is a big reason for a tracking system<\/a>. Ultimately, developers hope the data will show how well individual schools, teachers, and colleges are performing.<\/p>\n

Georgia won the federal grant, in part, because of its plan for the database<\/a>. The Obama administration has been pushing for accountability<\/a> and education reforms that include keeping track of student and teacher performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
