Statewide Longitudinal Data Focus of Research Cohort with Coleridge Institute

Learn to Earn Dayton Manager of Data Science and Analytics Philip Ferrari, together with a cohort from Toledo Tomorrow, Summit Education Initiative, StriveTogether, and

Morehouse School of Medicine recently completed and presented a six-month training with Coleridge Initiative utilizing a State Longitudinal Data System that allowed the cohort to analyze records of (deidentified) individuals' educational employment records 10 years after graduating high school. The Coleridge Initiative taught and provided the opportunity to conduct action-oriented research within a protected and secure environment. It brought together data analysts and data scientists across the state of Ohio that work in the cradle-to-career continuum to collaborate and work together on a common goal. This study of longitudinal data allowed for powerful analysis, and this project is an example of what could be possible in Ohio with an investment in a similar student level longitudinal data system.
