Collaboration is not optional in Kansas’s Data Quality
Certification Program.
Program Staff that had knowledge were invited.
IT Trainers compiled existing knowledge and drafted
materials.
Program staff revised materials and training began.

How Data Governance creates buy-in• Start early and convene often: create
camaraderie by going through the learning process together• Bring in leadership at the appropriate DG level:
let them be part of the decision making/policy development• Make sure the word gets out: make your SME’s
available to division meetings, and at meetings with schools and districts sponsored by internal stakeholders, so they can be part of OPI’s outreach.
CREATING BUY-IN
2012 SLDS P-20W Best Practice Conference 10
Keeping the momentum going:•Now that we have a fully functioning DG system within OPI, how do we keep the interest up with all the other competing areas such as new accreditation standards, adoption of new Smarter Balance assessment, and so forth?
