Concentration Elective Description: The Data Quality Certification Program Concentration in Migrant Student Data is designed to increase understanding of the specific migrant data collected by KSDE.
Target Audience: DQC participants seeking certification may include this optional concentration in their certification coursework. However, this concentration may also be taken by those not seeking certification in the DQC Program. The Migrant Student Data Concentration Elective has been designed for Migrant Data Clerks but is open to all school and district staff, SIS Vendors, KSDE employees, or anyone seeking to understand more about how Migrant data is reported to KSDE.
Course Delivery Methods:
