This is just a reminder of our NPSO Community of Practice call this Thursday, August 12th focusing on states work on their statewide longitudinal data systems.
*Topic for discussion: * The NPSO invites states to share their experiences, plans, progress, and challenges for embedding Indicator 14 data into their Statewide Longitudinal Databases. We welcome you to invite your data manager, IT support, or other SEA colleagues who may be the point person for your state in this area to join the call with you. We will focus the conversation around these three questions: - Briefly describe your state’s current plan for incorporating B14 data into your SLDS; - What challenges in this process are you currently or anticipate experiencing as you incorporate B14 data into your SLDS? - Given the challenges noted above, what support/technical assistance do you need or anticipate needing) from the NPSO? The NPSO also wants to introduce you to our newest staff person, Dr. Ryan Kellems, NPSO Knowledge Development and Technical Assistance Specialist. He comes to us after just completing his Ph.D. at the University of Kansas. We welcome him aboard. *Presenters: *NPSO Staff *Format*: Open discussion and round robin responses/questions. *Time*: 8:00-9:00 a.m. HI 10:00-11:00 a.m. AK 11:00-12:00 p.m. PT 12:00-1:00 p.m. MT 1:00-2:00 p.m. CT 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET *To access the call: *Dial *1-866-200-5786*.
