Accountability is as much about data quality as it is about test results.  Erroneous data could potentially interfere with a school or school district's efforts to raise achievement.  Additionally, without accurate data, teachers and/or school leaders may make faulty decisions about student placement, academic progress, and program quality. This workshop (a) reveals the links between school data and accountability reporting; (b) exposes many of the common data issues with state and federal accountability reporting, emphasizing issues that directly affect AYP and API; and (c) provides ideas that address or resolve these common problems.  The workshop's central purpose is to help insure high quality and accurate data from those individuals responsible for state and federal accountability reporting (e.g., district and school site test coordinators, student information system (SIS) staff, and other school leaders). The workshop explores the following questions: 1.  What data sources are used to complete which reports? 2.  What are the common data errors? 3.  What can be done to ensure high quality data?

Accountability is as much about data quality as it is about test results.  Erroneous data could potentially interfere with a school or school district's efforts to raise achievement.  Additionally, without accurate data, teachers and/or school leaders may make faulty decisions about student placement, academic progress, and program quality. This workshop (a) reveals the links between school data and accountability reporting; (b) exposes many of the common data issues with state and federal accountability reporting, emphasizing issues that directly affect AYP and API; and (c) provides ideas that address or resolve these common problems.  The workshop's central purpose is to help insure high quality and accurate data from those individuals responsible for state and federal accountability reporting (e.g., district and school site test coordinators, student information system (SIS) staff, and other school leaders). The workshop explores the following questions: 1.  What data sources are used to complete which reports? 2.  What are the common data errors? 3.  What can be done to ensure high quality data?
