Georgia’s Educator Preparation Data Marts - Making it Feasible for Data to Drive Teacher Quality

Printer-friendly version

The Office of P-16 Initiatives of the University System of Georgia (USG) has developed a series of Educator Preparation Data Marts. These data marts integrate information on those who complete the USG educator preparation program with extensive data on the public education workforce in Georgia. The Educator Preparation Data Marts provide the ability to conduct detailed analyses of teachers, counselors, and educational leaders produced by Georgia’s University System as they enter the public education workforce. The marts also allow detailed longitudinal reporting on: teacher workforce characteristics, teacher retention, attrition, and mobility issues, and potential teacher shortage areas. Live, detailed demonstrations of these tools will be presented, including discussions on how the tools put immediate, relevant, useful information into the hands of decision makers when and how they need it. Use of the data marts for improving educator preparation, planning to meet upcoming teacher workforce needs, and ensuring teacher quality will also be discussed.
