About this listen

 Special education staff have been asking to hear from staff in other states and districts about what they’re doing that’s working and lessons they’ve learned, so we’re throwing a spotlight on your IDEA data stories. Join your host, Amy Bitterman, as she chats with state and district special education staff, who, just like you, are dealing with IDEA data every day. We hope that by sharing these real experiences, you’ll be able to feel more connected to colleagues in other states doing the same work, grow together, and, ultimately, improve your data quality.IDEA Data Center (IDC)

    In a relationship, two things come together to form a stronger, more complete whole. You might say the same about our ED Facts Coordinator/Data Manager Data Quality Peer Group, which gathers members of those role groups for collaboration and coordination around all things related to 618 data, as well as to discuss topics that include data governance, processes, and verification; data best practices; and everything and anything concerning ED Facts modernization. In the fourth installment of this special series, host Amy Bitterman gets the whole story from the group’s facilitators, IDC’s own Kristen DeSalvatore and Audrey Rudick.

    What’s the old saying? There’s strength in numbers. That’s certainly true of IDC’s State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) Data Quality Peer Group, which brings together SSIP coordinators from state departments of education and elsewhere to combine their experiences and insight to share, discuss, and problem solve. In part three of this special series, host Amy Bitterman sits down with IDC’s own Beckie Davis and Jennifer Schaaf to count it all up: the when’s, where’s, and why’s of these productive meetings and how you can add to their numbers.
