DQC Resources

The Data Quality Campaign provides a forum for states to learn from each other as they continue to improve their systems. The campaign has captured the lessons from states that have built longitudinal data systems, disseminated case studies and resource briefs, and convened forums for states to learn from their peers. A growing stock of products and tools makes the case for policymakers and stakeholders that the value of longitudinal data outweighs the challenges of implementing such systems and that help is available. The following resources reflect the resources produced by the Data Quality Campaign since its creation in 2005. Click on the appropriate header to sort by Resource, Topic, or Type.
