DATA FOR DEMOCRACY: Lessons for California’s Educational Data System
John Rogers
Co-Director, UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access
Over the last three years, UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access has produced yearly Educational Opportunity Reports (online at www.edopp.org). These reports inform policymakers, educators, and parents about how well California’s public schools are meeting their mission of providing all students with a quality education. Working on these reports has forced us to grapple with a number of questions. What is the purpose of educational data? What sort of data is needed to advance this purpose? How should data be presented? What support is needed for educators and members of the public to use data in powerful ways? And finally, what level of public investment is needed to create such a quality data system?
