Welcome to DATAG!
 
The NY Schools Data Analysis Technical Assistance Group was founded in 2000 by a group of educational data experts from across New York State. 
 
This group first met on the porch of the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, NY and envisioned a world where NYS schools were able to develop a strong data driven environment guided by the understanding of assessments and sharing of best practices. 
 
It was from these informal meetings that DATAG was born.
 
The Next meeting will be on March 9 at the Albany Holiday Inn on Wolf Road.
 
 
DATAG's Mission
 
  • To provide a leadership role in identifying, cataloging, and modeling best practices in the analysis and use of data for New York schools.
  • To assist schools in understanding performance assessments in order to effect changes in curriculum and instruction to meet New York educational standards.
  • To support the use of data to inform and improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment, as well as guide professional development and district comprehensive or strategic planning.
         
DATAG’s primary means of fulfilling its mission is through one summer conference and three membership meetings each school year.
 
The summer conference and meetings offer presentations by practitioners, researchers, and NYS Education Department representatives.
 
In addition to data analysis, presentations often focus on the responsibilities of data administrators, effective facilitation of data groups, and balanced approaches to the use of data in schools. 
 
DATAG offers members and NYS data users a prime opportunity for networking and a place for important collegial conversations about the intelligent, responsible, and ethical uses of data for the benefit of students and school systems.
 
We hope that you can join us.
