The Data Meeting Toolkit

This month we are excited to highlight an IDEA Data Center (IDC) toolkit, the Data Meeting Toolkit. This toolkit was born out of the desire to help states and agencies move from the collection and reporting of data to the use of data to inform decision-making. Using high-quality data can help you allocate resources effectively and maximize outcomes for your students. However, data discussions can sometimes seem overwhelming. The Data Meeting Toolkit includes a suite of tools that support success before, during, and after data meetings. The tools offer practical and specific examples of how to use the toolkit to address a range of data meeting needs.
