OSEP has provided states with data quality reports, now what? This workshop explored ways states can use the IDEA Data Quality Review and Year to Year reports to improve data quality. Participants engaged in hands-on exercises to explore how the OSEP-provided reports may point to systemic issues related to internal state processes or communication. Participants explored next steps after identifying data quality issues, including applying best practices for writing data notes, incorporating lessons learned into internal processes or systems, and exploring opportunities for support or training for LEAs.

This session provided an overview of OSEP’s data quality review process, including understanding the process and rationale for the data quality review, how to read the data quality reports, and what triggers the request for data notes. The presenter also talked about how OSEP uses the data notes and what states should consider when developing a data note in response to the review.
