Why Interoperability Matters for SLDS | Stories from the Field

State Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) allow states to collect and maintain detailed, high-quality, student- and staff-level data linked across entities and over time, providing robust academic and performance history for each student; and make these data accessible through reporting and analysis tools. By tracking student and staff data over time with other data (such as course completion rates, college enrollment, readiness, assessments, and workforce information), SLDS allows states to better understand the many factors that affect student achievement and the relationships between them.

Data interoperability can make it easier for states to deploy and maintain State Longitudinal Data Systems. Learn how the Indiana Department of Education, North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, South Carolina Department of Education, and Texas Education Agency are leveraging data interoperability to support data-based decision-making at the federal, state, district, and local levels.
