Ed-Fi Alliance

To learn more about how UTRGV leverages its data — and gather words of wisdom for EPP admins looking to boost their program’s effectiveness — we sat down with Dr. Alma Rodriguez, dean of the College of Education and P-16 Integration.

Last week, Dr. Katie Jenner, the Secretary of Education for the State of Indiana, presented at the Every Day Counts Summit: Addressing Chronic Absenteeism and Increasing Student Engagement. In her presentation, Dr. Jenner discussed Indiana's dedication to solving chronic absenteeism and its unique approach to improving attendance — including attendance dashboards powered by the Ed-Fi Data Standard. This is just one example of data's power in improving student outcomes. Excellent work, Dr. Jenner and team! #ChronicAbsenteeism #AttendanceMatters https://lnkd.in/euW-YriT
