Attached here are documents reviewed at the first Data Quality work group meeting today, Jan 22.

Included is the federal Longitudinal Data System RFP, which is the first focus for the group. Also attached is a draft application plan document to track roles and responsibilities for application contributors.

The ESD Regional Data Model Draft document was presented as a starting point for discussion about HOW a proposed data program might be delivered. That conversation was tabled in order to focus on the WHAT would be delivered. Or, better said, energy turned to identifying primary goal(s) for the data program/proposal and grant application.

The following is a very preliminary yield of the goal discussion: This proposal seeks to improve data quality across the Oregon education enterprise, for the purpose of improving the education experience of every Oregon student in the P-20 system. The development and deployment of a comprehensive data system that delivers timely, relevant data, and supports meaningful data analysis, will allow Oregon educators and students to realistically expect ever-improving teaching and learning at all levels of the P-20 system.
