CLC case study: CASE 1
Problem Definition/ Objective
-
understand student achievement and student/program outcomes across the student population.
-
Generate high-level insight on program utilization and student trajectory, as well as understand effect of program participation on student outcomes.
Original Data
District Data

Student Data

Analytic tool: R, Excel
Data Integration
I combined the district data and students’ score data using R
Data Preprocessing
For each student, I calculated the separate and combined score improvement compared to the score he got after the last program he participated in. I also added a column named “program_number”, which means this is the second/ third… program he has taken.
For each district, I calculated the total score improvement, the average number of programs taken per student, the average intake score, and the utilization of tutoring per student.

Data Analysis
For objective 1, I used statistical analysis to understand the Student Achievement by Program and District. Exploratory Data Analysis
For objective 2, I used marginal analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of three programs.
