Abstract | The newly revised Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA 2001) has sweeping implications for how states collect, analyze, and use data about school and system performance. Policymakers must take a hard look at the design and capacity of their states' data systems, and determine what changes will have to be made to meet the requirements of the new law. This policy brief provides a short primer on data use, covering the topics of disaggregated data, ways of comparing school and student performance, and measurement of adequate yearly progress (AYP); information about longitudinal data systems and data structures needed for such systems that can measure student enrollment and progress over time; challenges of longitudinal systems, including cost and ensuring student privacy and confidentiality; a look at the resources available under ESEA 2001 for states to improve their information systems; and key issues for policymakers to consider in assessing the adequacy of their states' information systems. The policy brief concludes with a brief list of resources for further reading about state information systems. (RT) |
