Forecasting
Student Population
We use research-based
student population
forecasting
models to improve accuracy. The UGA associates in the FPDM
Program can produce a 5,
10, or 15-year forecast by school system
and/or by school building service area. If you need a forecast
for more than 15 years, ask about requirements
and procedures to complete this detailed project.
A UGA representative will work with a school system, a planning agency, or a state to produce long range student population forecasts. Perhaps system
administrators wish to do the
forecasting, but are in need of
a refresher course; we will bring a Student
Population Forecasting
Workshop to
your organization and work with one person or a small group
of
planners, managers, and principals and teach them how to develop,
adjust and
customize a "5-year" forecasting model for a school district, region,
or state. Each
participant is
issued an electronic version of the basic forecasting models (5-Year)
and each
participant keeps the Models after the workshop for use at the school
building and/or
system level.
Here is a Suggested
Workshop Format:
Morning: (9 AM to12:30 PM) So you have a
spreadsheet and all you
need to do is enter enrollment data and resident live births!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
First,
we work on the concept of forecasting student population.
Second, we show you the science of forecasting student population. Next, you learn about the art of student population forecasting (Local Guru Approach). Afternoon:
(1:30 PM to 4:30 PM) Applying
the art and science of forecasting student population Small
group work on a local
data sets.
Explaining what you have developed. ________________________________ 706-542-4067 < HOME >
