• Description: Aimee Guidera is executive director of the Data Quality Campaign (DQC), established in late 2005 as "a national, collaborative effort to encourage and support state policymakers to improve the availability and use of high-quality education data to improve student achievement."

  To that end, DQC developed and encouraged states to adopt 10 essential elements of longitudinal data systems. More recently, DQC has shifted its focus toward helping states' key stakeholders to actually use the data to help students succeed. This article is a Q&A with Mrs. Guidera.
