Dear colleagues,
The U.S. Department of Education and the Data Quality Campaign invite you to join us on November 8-9 in Washington, DC for two days of sketching, prototyping and building solutions to help states design family-friendly approaches to report cards that make school data more transparent and accessible. If you are interested, read on and register!
The ESSA Report Card Design Challenge will bring together technical experts (e.g. computer programmers, graphic designers, and data visualization experts), subject matter experts (e.g. state and district leaders, experts from education policy organizations, U.S. Department of Education staff), and parents and other stakeholders to design tools, templates, and other innovative solutions that will support states in tackling the ESSA data reporting requirements.
Creators of exemplar designs may be invited to share their designs and prototypes with state leaders at the December Combined Federal Programs Meeting in Washington, DC. We will also highlight the award winners and their designs via a blog series following the challenge. To learn more about the design challenge please review the attached flier and check out our blog postannouncing the event.
We hope a team from your state will be interested in participating, but are also welcoming interested individuals. If you know other individuals or organizations that might be interested in assembling a team, please share this invitation and encourage them to register!
Due to limited space, for those interested in participating, registration is required. Please register no later than Tuesday, October 9, 2018 by completing this Registration Form.
Additional logistics information will follow. Please reach out to Sara Trettin at sara.trettin@ed.gov with any questions.
We hope to see you in DC!
Best,
Patrick Rooney
Office of State Support
