2009-10 Survey Results by State

States have made remarkable progress in developing longitudinal data systems that can follow student progress over time, from early childhood through 12th grade and into postsecondary education through implementation of the 10 Essential Elements. The 10 State Actions are the fundamental steps states must put in place to change the culture around how data are used to inform decisions to improve system and student performance. The maps below show how many of the 10 Essential Elements and 10 State Actions each state reports having based on responses to the 2009-10 DQC survey of states.
