The Next Step: Using Longitudinal Data Systems To Improve Student Success
Organization: Data Quality Campaign
Date: Mar 2009
Over the next three years, the DQC will continue to assist states in developing data systems based on the 10 essential elements and in using the information to improve student performance. To help ensure that states benefit from their infrastructure investments, the DQC will focus on two high-priority needs: building demand for the newly available information and helping state agencies assist all stakeholders in harnessing this powerful source of information.
