Accountability & Data Literacy



LACOE supports schools and districts in the areas of state and federal accountability, including technical assistance with the California School Dashboard, state assessment systems, CALPADS data collection, LCAP metrics, SARCs, and more. We also provide professional development for school leaders in building a culture of data use to support continuous improvement. We support LEA administrators through the Data, Accountability, & Assessment Network (DAAN) and the CALPADS networks, which provide members with the latest information related to accountability, assessment, and data collection and provide opportunities for collaboration and problem-solving.


The Data, Assessment, & Accountability Network (DAAN) is a level-alike network for administrators who have responsibilities related to maintaining their LEA's data, administering state assessments and reporting for accountability. Members receive the latest information from the State Board of Education (SBE) and the state's Regional Assessment Network (RAN); assessment updates; and key insights on the use of data for continuous improvement. Network members also benefit from presentations and shared resources from their colleagues throughout Los Angeles County.

CALPADS Administrators and Accountability Directors are the target audience for these meetings, which support understanding of the latest information about the CALPADS system. Topics include CALPADS' impact on accountability and the dashboard; best practices in data governance; assignment monitoring and special education data. SIS vendors serving the majority of our schools and districts provide updates in breakout sessions immediately following. LACOE's network meetings will continue to follow the California Department of Education’s (CDE) CALPADS Quarterly Updates by approximately one week.
