This publication highlights how state leaders tackle data interoperability with the emergence of data standards for student information, assessment, digital content, and other educational applications. While states are at various maturity levels for interoperability, each state shares goals for interoperability, the drivers for those goals, current status and use cases, as well as some of the challenges in the process. Private sector partners share observations, perceptions of states' status in the interoperability process, as well as some of the pain points from the vendor perspective. State and private sector leaders identify recommendations and the next steps necessary to continue the conversations within states, among states, and with the private sector to develop cohesive data interoperability practices to achieve student learning goals. This report examines the current data interoperability efforts in nine states: Delaware, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Throughout the report, states explore the successes and challenges in making interoperable solutions where data is seamlessly connected and readily available for use by decision makers, teachers, parents, and students.
