    1. Vermont’s Education Data Warehouse (EDW) Built by a Partnership Between the Vermont Data Consortium and the Vermont Department of Education

    3. Why are we here? In most schools we have a tremendous amount of data, but we lack information because we can not easily see the patterns that exist. Somewhere in the maze of state assessments, local assessments, standardized tests, perception surveys, pilot projects, and demographic information lie answers and important insights to our most important questions: What’s working? What’s not working? How can we improve the education for all of our students? The Vermont Department of Education and the Vermont Data Consortium are committed to develop a system that supports educators and policy makers in data-based decision making for school improvement.

    4. What is the Education Data Warehouse? It is not a Student Management System (daily transactional system) It is: a collection of data from multiple data sources a place to easily view and analyze data a key support to data-driven decision making
