    Do you ever wonder what other states are doing to ensure high-quality data? Participants of this session learned about the work that the Kentucky Department of Education is undertaking to create data process protocols, build capacity of data stewards, and institute a culture of high-quality data. This work is being accomplished using the new IDC Data Processes Toolkit. Presenters provided an overview of the toolkit, and participants had an opportunity to experience “preparing for this work.”

    Moving From Bystander to Participant: Engaging State Leaders During Data Integration

    CIID is facilitating a workgroup of SEAs interested in improving engagement of state leaders in IDEA data integration efforts. For data integration to succeed, SEAs and state leaders must communicate ideas, goals, and objectives clearly across departments and to various stakeholder groups. This role-alike presentation for state directors and leaders provided an opportunity for state leaders to learn how to move from being a bystander to an active participant in data integration efforts. Participants learned more about critical times for engagement, ensuring communication and cooperation among state leaders who rely on data for decision making, and positive outcomes that result from integrating IDEA data.

    Using the Part C IDEA Data Processes Toolkit to document data processes for all 616 and 618 data collections will establish a well-managed process for data collection, validation, and submission.

The toolkit contains an overview of the toolkit, Data Collection Protocols, SPP/APR Indicator Protocols, a State Landscape Protocol, a Local EI Program Determinations Protocol, a Data Collections Calendar, and additional resources that provide a structure for documenting data processes. The Data Collection Protocols are in Word, and states can tailor them meet their states' specific documentation needs.
