• Description: A growing network of committed partners at the national, state and institutional levels is shining a brighter and wider spotlight on pragmatic ways to build and use longitudinal data systems to improve educational outcomes. The DQC recognizes that policymakers at every level face important, timely challenges in building and using data systems; it will take significant investment, support and capacity building at the local, state and national levels to achieve that goal. The policy actions noted here reflect the common concerns, shared vision and lessons learned from the growing DQC network.
