Data Quality Certification Collaboration is not optional in Kansas’s Data Quality Certification Program. Program Staff that had knowledge were invited. IT Trainers compiled existing knowledge and drafted materials. Program staff revised materials and training began. Collaboration doesn’t end when training begins. A large part of the collaboration process is filling in each other’s knowledge gaps.
GEMS Project GEMS: Overview • Implementation: Grant award: July 2009 • Year One: Data Governance, development of DW RFP • Year Two: RFP development and award • Year Three: DW Implementation • Year Four: Continuation of DW Implementation • OPI and its constituents and culture • Approximately 180 employees, 80 data stewards • 827 schools; 421 school districts; 141,693 enrollment
Creating Buy-in How Data Governance creates buy-in • Start early and convene often: create camaraderie by going through the learning process together • Bring in leadership at the appropriate DG level: let them be part of the decision making/policy development • Make sure the word gets out: make your SME’s available to division meetings, and at meetings with schools and districts sponsored by internal stakeholders, so they can be part of OPI’s outreach.
Momentum Keeping the momentum going: • Now that we have a fully functioning DG system within OPI, how do we keep the interest up with all the other competing areas such as new accreditation standards, adoption of new Smarter Balance assessment, and so forth?
