SETDA SETDA - States Helping States COMMON DATA ELEMENTS
Key Questions
Why should states collect common data elements and how will identifying common data elements on education technology support student learning?
Addressing progress on the goals and purposes outlined in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is a primary reason for states to collect data. Beyond this requirement, the SETDA Common Data Elements (CDE) Work Group believes that a common set of information about educational technology is needed to make national comparisons and to provide public policy guidance to state leaders on various educational technology needs.
