Without good data, it is hard to make good decisions. One good decision you can make today is to register for the February MIEM Quality Data Workshop Series.
MIEM and the Center for Educational Performance & Information (CEPI) have teamed up to create sessions specifically aimed at decision-makers who work with the overwhelming amount of data facing schools today.
MSBO members know that our districts - and our performance - are judged based on our analysis and use of data. MIEM is encouraging school officials to “be proactive” and learn more about proper use and input to:
• The Michigan Electronic Grant System (MEGS)
• The MDE Cash Management System (CMS)
• The Single Record Student Database (SRSD)
• The Financial Information Database (FID)
• The School Infrastructure Database (SID)
Each three-hour Quality Data session is taught by a skilled school district practitioner and by a MDE or CEPI staff member responsible for the database. They review:
- Each data field collected – how and why
- How data is tied to a district’s performance and/or finances
- What to do when things go wrong
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn from each other’s experiences. Your data input specialist should attend these sessions.
Register today!
