News About C2C
Data for the People Resources (ETW)
For over a decade, The Education Trust–West’s #Data4ThePeople campaign has been a statewide effort to ensure California builds a data system that is centered on achieving equity and the needs of students, parents, and families.
Ed Trust–West resources are designed to support education equity advocates to take action. The student leaders, parent advocates, equity-minded teachers, faculty members, administrators, and community leaders who fight for students and families every day have a key role in ensuring #Data4ThePeople.
California’s Cradle-to-Career Data System Hits Major Milestone
California’s Cradle to Career (C2C) system aims to shed light on the paths Californians take through the school system and into the workforce by linking individual-level data from a variety of state agencies. This connected data—which has long been siloed in the agencies that collected them—could allow researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine and fix critical leaks in California’s education pipeline. The C2C system received its first submission from its data partners in late 2023, adding over 1 billion data points ranging from educational experiences to social services participation and workforce outcomes.
