State and local staff encounter a number of challenges collecting, analyzing, reporting, and using parent involvement data. Presenters will explore best practices and strategies related to two commonly challenging areas – survey development and methods for collecting data from families. Presenters also will highlight resources states can use to improve the quality of their parent involvement data in these areas. Participants will hear from one state colleague about the state’s work with IDC to improve the state’s parent involvement survey and from another state colleague about the state’s process for collecting family engagement data and strategies for improving data quality.
