Who Uses Education Data?

Individuals, families, educators, communities, and policymakers need secure access to data to make decisions to meet education and career goals.

What is Responsible Data Use?

All education data collected is regulated by federal and state privacy laws and local policies. Responsible data use is when decision makers collect the data they need—and nothing more—and use it to support individuals.

About

We advocate to change the role of data to ensure that data works for everyone navigating their education and workforce journeys.

Resources

DQC is dedicated to building knowledge and developing resources that advance the effective use of education data.

Our Mission

We advocate to change the role of data to ensure that data works for everyone navigating their education and workforce journeys.

Remarkable progress has been made in states to ensure that useful data is collected, thanks to dedicated advocates and policymakers. But we know that in too many communities, those who most need information to help the students they care about do not have it. That needs to change.

More than any other organization, DQC understands the challenges and opportunities of using data to improve outcomes for all students along their journeys through education and into careers.

Education 101

Everyone who has a stake in education—especially families and educators—needs the right data in the right format at the right time to serve our students along their unique journeys.

What is Education Data?

Education data is information about individuals, groups, and entire populations. From course access and attendance to performance data and postsecondary enrollment rates, education data includes any information that can be used to support individuals throughout their education and workforce journeys.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

DQC’s longstanding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is reflected in our values, our strategies, and the way we work together.

DQC “keeps the table set for data” by working with both state and federal leaders on policies and practices that result in stronger data ecosystems—and that support individuals through education and the workforce. While states have made tremendous progress on developing and expanding their systems, the work is never done. States must prioritize policy actions that result in a state data culture in which all stakeholders have the data and support they need to make more informed decisions.

Our DEI Policy

DQC’s DEI policy was developed collaboratively by staff and based on best practices. It is fully supported by the organization’s Board of Directors and leadership team.

DQC is committed to maintaining a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages a diversity of identities and perspectives on our team and in our work. Each employee will be respected and valued—and able to give their best as a result. Employees will be supported and encouraged to develop their potential and use their unique skills and talents to strengthen DQC’s work.

We embrace our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make the individuals on our team unique.

DQC’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy is applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, professional development and training, and promotions. DQC is committed to the ongoing development of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive working environment, and this work is never complete.

Some of the ways DQC operationalizes our commitment to DEI include the following:

  • Create opportunities for staff to increase cultural competency, evaluate systems for equity, and learn how to uncover and interrupt bias in the workplace.
  • Maintain and seek the counsel of diverse voices on our Board of Directors.
  • Continue building DEI practices into internal operations, including hiring, onboarding, staff retention, benefits, professional development, and growth pathways.
