In this session we will discuss best practices in data management from data collection through data reporting. KSDE IT staff will cover policies, processes, and strategies to help keep your data safe while also allowing it to be used for the purpose it was collected for…improving student outcomes. Whether a district is large with established procedures or small with limited staff, data governance ensures well-defined roles and responsibilities (such as data owners and stewards), standardized protocols for data collection and management, a commitment to maintaining data quality, and careful attention to student privacy are all in place. This session will include a guided self-evaluation of your district’s data environment (Systems, Knowledge, Practices, and Leadership) that can be used by a DLT to diagnose areas of strength and areas for improvement.
