PACE SYSTEM Performance Analysis for Colleges of Education System

DATA CORRECTION INSTRUCTIONS and FORMS

The purpose of the Data Correction Form is to notify CREATE if inaccurate information is found in your university's PACE report. The PACE System relies on the validity of the data used in the report so all data should be verified and validated first by using internal data sets. Instructions for submitting proposed corrections can be found by scrolling further down this page.

Errors may exist when there are significant discrepancies between internal data and state data trends as reported in PACE. In order to help you decide whether to report errors, please be aware that state data sets are dynamic, that is, data are continually changed and updated. Depending on what time of year the data set was purchased, there may be small differences in the data as reported.

The following are examples of data errors that should be reported to CREATE:

• On a multilevel analysis the same data is reported for high, middle, and elementary schools;
• Data is reported from another university's program;
• Data is missing or is incorrectly placed in a table.

All questions regarding PACE data corrections should be directed to:
