All students deserve a great education, one that affords them every opportunity to grow into knowledgeable and successful adults. To make this vision a reality, students, parents, educators, and policymakers must have access to the right information to make decisions and support student learning. The Data Quality Campaign's Four Policy Priorities to Make Data Work for Students show how policymakers at the federal, state, and district levels can take action to achieve this vision. The federal government is uniquely positioned to support and incentivize the data practices of state and local education agencies by helping develop best practices, conduct research, provide guidance, and remove policy barriers. Federal leaders must act now and make data work for students.
