HIgh Quality IDEA Data: The Foundation to Effective Decisions (Room 201 second floor)

High-quality data are at the heart of the work of every local education agency (LEA), but what’s the best way to improve the validity and reliability of those data? Better yet, how can LEAs grow a culture of collaborative use of high-quality data that persists over time and through agency turnover and change? Join the IDEA Data Center (IDC) for answers to these questions as we explore how to help teams establish a well-managed process for data collection, validation, and submission. We’ll also take an in-depth look at the IDC LEA Data Processes Toolkit, discussing the importance of well-managed collaborative processes and more.
