Data Systems That Work
Our new four- part webinar series, “Creating Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems that Provide Useful Information,” is designed to help leaders maximize the potential of their education-based data systems. The series introduces the User-Centered State Data System Design framework, which helps states build data systems that put people first. Centering on three core functions of data systems—Public Reports & Dashboards, Supporting Individuals, and Research & Analytics—the webinars offer practical strategies, real-world examples, and lessons learned from modernization efforts.
Sponsoring agencies are Education Commission of the States (ECS), the Data Integration Support Center (DISC) at WestEd, Data Quality Campaign (DQC), and Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy (AISP).
