Monitoring Quality and Access

Graduation rates, test scores, teacher quality, availability of high-level math courses, and diversity on campus are just a few examples of information that can indicate the quality of educational opportunities in the state. These indicators also can reveal how opportunities to learn from kindergarten to college are distributed to students across the state. Through its California Opportunity Indicators Project, UC ACCORD will develop a set of key indicators that researchers, policymakers, and the public can use to monitor the state’s progress toward reducing disparities in access and achievement. Beginning in 2003, UC ACCORD will synthesize the data into a report of the state’s progress toward providing all students with high-quality opportunities to prepare for and succeed in college.
