National COVID-19 School Response Dashboard seeks participants
September 21, 2020
AASA, NASSP and NAESP are helping lead an effort to create a National COVID-19 School Response Dashboard that will provide educational leaders and policymakers with information on how schools are reopening and what factors contribute to safe reopening.
School and district leaders are invited to enroll their schools and participate in this data collection effort. The dashboard will collect baseline information on schools as the year progresses and then follow them over time to record enrollments, staffing and COVID-19 cases.
Data entry is straightforward and simple — the baseline survey should take no more than 10-20 minutes, and the bi-weekly surveys have only five questions. De-identified data will be available publicly in a navigable dashboard within a week of data entry. In addition, once the effort kicks off participating schools will be provided with feedback illustrating the situation in their school along with some comparisons from the local area.
This effort is a collaboration between the School Superintendents Association; the National Association of Secondary School Principals; the National Association of Elementary School Principals; Brown University Professor of Economics Emily Oster; and Qualtrics, the experience management company.
