TO RECEIVE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP AWARD
Three Illinois education agencies and the Illinois General Assembly were honored by the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) as this year’s State Policymakers of the Year. Illinois received its award during the DQC’s Annual Meeting and Progress Report in Washington, DC. The DQC is a national partnership to improve the quality, accessibility, and use of data in education. The award recognized the winners for their critical leadership role in changing the culture around data use for improvement of education policy. Recipients of the award included the Illinois Community College Board, the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the Illinois State Board of Education, and Illinois Senator Heather Steans. Senator Steans sponsored legislation in 2009 that created the P-20 Longitudinal Education Data System Act. Awards were also presented to Peter Gorman (North Carolina Leadership Award) and Mickey Garrison (Oregon State Director Award)
