    "PRODUCTIVE PERSISTENCE: A "PRACTICAL" THEORY OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS SUCCESS The Carnegie Foundation's PRODUCTive Persistence initiative is a practical theory of the causes of successfully completing coursework at a community college-or, in our terms, the "drivers" of successful course completion.  The term "PRODUCTive Persistence" refers to both the tenacity to persist, and also the ability to use good strategiesto PRODUCTively engage with the course materials. "

    Attempts to imagine the future of education often emphasize new technologies-ubiquitous computing devices, flexible classroom designs, and innovative visual displays. But the most dramatic factor shaping the future of higher education is something that we can't actually touch or see: big data and analytics. Basing decisions on data and evidence seems stunningly obvious, and indeed, research indicates that data-driven decision-making improves organizational output and productivity.1 For many leaders in higher education, however, experience and "gut instinct" have a stronger pull.
