Results: State Actions

Now that longitudinal data are collected, states must take actions to facilitate stakeholders’ use of the information to improve system and student performance. The DQC has identified three overarching imperatives for changing the culture around data use and maximizing the return on states’ data infrastructure investments. These three imperatives include 10 State Actions that states should take to change how data are used to inform state and local decisionmaking regarding the improvement of system and student performance. In 2009, for the first time, the DQC surveyed states progress against these 10 State Actions. To view state progress towards implementing the 10 Actions, see the charts below.
