DMPS ASSESSMENT, DATA, AND EVALUATION


Picture
The Assessment, Data, and Evaluation team provides a systems approach to critical district functions that supports data-based decision making.  Data is an asset that belongs to the district, not individual departments, and must be utilized as such.  Having a centralized team allows Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) to (1) optimize, link, access, analyze, and act upon all major categories of district data (i.e., student, staff, assessment, school, human resources, financial, and operational data) and (2) strategically meet the diverse needs of all departments, which ensures:
  • transparency of data processes (collection, storage, analysis, and reporting),
  • effective collaboration and coordination of efforts,
  • integration of data from multiple sources,
  • consistent data security and access policies and procedures, and
  • unbiased measurement and reporting.
