Keep the EdTech Collaboratory on your radar. In a time of significant change, they are leading voices in how states are working together to create and govern modern data ecosystems and overcome the challenges of legacy SLDS systems. Why does this matter to educators and students? Modern data ecosystems empower educators with quick insights and help them develop and test strategies, driving stronger student outcomes. By addressing the challenges of legacy systems, state and regional collaborations can ensure that data-driven decisions all the way down to the classroom level are more accurate, timely, and impactful. https://lnkd.in/gwcpqaWr

Disconnected data systems make it harder for educators to give students the support they need. The Ed-Fi Data Standard brings student data together, making it easier to personalize learning, reduce absenteeism, and help prepare students for college and career success. In Indiana, the statewide GPS dashboard has helped reduce chronic absenteeism by 3.3 percentage points by giving educators and families the tools to better support students. ? ?

Government for Good Alert?? I recently led a technology design sprint to use government data to develop tools for expanding and strengthening the STEM educator workforce. We had so much fun I wrote a blog about it! Shout out to The Opportunity Project at U.S. Census Bureau and Beyond100K for the backbone collaboration! The sprint produced innovative solutions based on practitioner feedback. Read on and there's a showcase video embedded in the blog if you want to learn more! https://lnkd.in/et3dAZmU << updated link Gratitude and kudos to the fantastic innovations from: Ed-Fi Alliance SETA-ED Craft Education Studio B3 Calm and Mindful, LLC Tech Levitate
