Strategic Plan: National Data Overviews Prepared by Amy Fowler, Deputy June 28, 2018
High Level Overview • National data that allows for state to state comparisons is challenging to obtain. – Data that is more easily collected and analyzed is frequently delayed by 2-3 years. – Data that is time intensive to collect by visiting each state’s website and hand entering it into a new data file is available yearly- if data is published by December 2018, AOE could collect and analyze to share results with SBE in April/May of 2019.
