Strategic Stimulus Investments to
Promote the Use of Data
States should consider using ARRA funds to:
• Fully implement the DQC 10 Essential Elements
• Embark on the new 10 State Actions to Ensure
Effective Data Use
• Work collaboratively with districts to ensure
state systems are built to serve district needs
• Address data architecture issues (and work to
develop common data models) to promote
interoperability of data systems

Phase II of Data Quality Campaign
DQC Partners have renewed their commitment to
work together over the next 3 years to build
support and political will to:
1. Grow and sustain longitudinal data systems that
follow individuals through the P-20 Pipeline
2. Ensure broad, yet appropriate, access to these data
3. Increase capacity to understand & use these data
improve system performance and student
achievement.
