These data are intended to be useful for policymaking at the federal, state, and local levels.  \nThe National Forum on Education Statistics (Forum) is an entity of the Cooperative System and, among its other activities, proposes principles of good practice to assist state and local education agencies (SEAs and LEAs) in meeting this purpose. The Cooperative System and the Forum are supported in these endeavors by resources from NCES.  \nPublications of the Forum do not undergo the same formal review required for products of NCES.

The purpose of this new resource is to provide timely and useful information on education indicators, how their collection and use have changed over time, and how agencies use them strategically. This new resource highlights best practices for using indicators, adjustments over time to the collection and use of indicators, shifts in types of relevant indicators, and what possibilities LEAs and SEAs see for the effective use of indicatorsin the future.  \nIn 2005, the Forum developed the Forum Guide to Education Indicators ([https://nces.ed.gov/](https://nces.ed.gov/)[ ](https://nces.ed.gov/)[forum/pub_2005802.asp](forum/pub_2005802.asp)) to help the education community better understand how to appropriately develop, apply, and interpret commonly used education indicators. The resource defines the concept of an education indicator, describes the process of establishing a body of education performance and context indicators, and describes 44 education indicators that were commonly used to measure the status of, or change in, education institutions across the nation.  \nSince the publication of that resource in 2005, many advancements in education have affected indicators, including changes to data systems (such as improved longitudinal data systems), federal data collections and accountability systems, legislation, mandatory public reporting, privacy protections, and data security. In recent years, some agencies have considered adjusting their approaches to standard practices like attendance and grading, which will influence the use of indicators. Agencies also are considering permanently adopting coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic-relate","cbCaibna1Axc6O9y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibna1Axc6O9y","pdf",3611423,"English","# Foreword\n# Publication Objectives\n# Intended Audience\n# Organization of This Resource\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this guide on education indicators?\",\"answer\":\"The guide provides timely, useful information on education indicators, explains how their collection and use have changed over time, and highlights best practices for using indicators strategically.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the primary audience for this publication?\",\"answer\":\"The primary audience includes staff at local, state, and federal education agencies involved in collecting, reporting, or analyzing data used to create education indicators, including program and data staff, researchers, and policymakers.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes over time does the guide address?\",\"answer\":\"It discusses advancements affecting indicators since 2005, including changes to data systems, federal data collections and accountability systems, privacy protections, and data security, as well as how agencies may adjust approaches to attendance, grading, and related practices.\"}]","Using Education Indicators - A Forum Guide for State and Local Education Agencies | PDF",1792055959,126]
