Organizations: Data Quality Campaign
Date: 03/2007
Description: New policy questions and accountability demands require better data on teachers and the universities that prepare them, so additional investments are needed to gather, house and analyze data in new ways that inform policy and practice. This issue brief focuses on why it is important to establish statewide longitudinal data systems that include the ability to link teacher, school and student information. It also highlights lessons from states that are in the forefront of building and using these systems.
