Guide to Building a Culture of Quality Data: A School and
District Resource
There has been a growing awareness that effective teaching,
efficient schools, and quality data are linked. A "Culture
of Quality Data" is the belief that good data are an
integral part of teaching, learning and managing the school

Quality Task Force to help schools and school districts
improve the quality of data they collect and to provide processes
for developing a "Culture of Quality Data by focusing
on data entry—getting things right at the source. The
quality of data will improve when all staff understands how
the data will be used and how data become information. This
guide will show how quality data can be achieved in a school
or district through the collaborative efforts of all staff.
