Strategies for Data Practice |
Identify your data team - who is responsible for capturing, certifying and reporting each data set? What are your goals around data and how does data align to overall LEA goals? Develop process maps for areas that need growth or have data errors to streamline the process Train all stakeholders on good data practices and any annual updates or changes to data collection Review your data before certifying, and compare to Dashboard and SOARs upon release to ensure a match! |
