Leah Meyer Austin Award Data Collection Template

ATD requires that any institution applying for the Leah Meyer Austin Award must meet a certain set of student performance metrics. Please complete this required data collection template with evidence of growth or an upward trend in at least three performance metrics for the most recent 4-year period. These are specified in the Leah Meyer Austin Award data template.

All metrics require four years of data with evidence of growth or an upward trend for at least three years. To apply for the Leah Meyer Austin Award, you must select three metrics - two from the purple tabs (Group A), one from the orange tabs (Group B) and demonstrate that growth occurred in the Overall category.

Further, you must indicate that an equity gap was narrowed or closed between the groups in at least two student characteristics on at least two metrics. Note that gateway/college-level courses count for a single metric toward this count, even if you present data for the three separate options (Math Only, English Only, Math/English Combined).
