College Affordability Profile
To help policymakers assess and improve college affordability in their states, SREB provides tailored reports on the policies, programs and prices that drive affordability. Each member-state profile details net price at different types of institutions, state financial aid based on need or other factors, student borrowing, and percentage of family income needed to pay for college at different income levels.
Professional Learning
Louisiana
SREB researchers gathered information on efforts in Louisiana, particularly at the Louisiana Department of Education, to foster effective professional learning on the state’s college- and career-readiness standards, the Louisiana State Standards. In collaboration with SREB states and national experts, SREB identified a set of expected state actions — “look-fors” — in four areas of state leadership in professional learning.
