How will you incorporate users’ perspective on the TSDS solution including the SIS and DCD reporting tools?
Over the last 18 months, TEA has conducted detailed background research and extensive consultation with more than 1,000 education stakeholders across the state through various channels, including interviews and surveys with districts and charters, regional ESCs serving districts, and SIS vendors. In the spring of 2010, TEA and ESCs hosted a series of regional forums and webinars to solicit feedback from educators on the DCD and voluntary statewide SIS requirements. TEA will continue to hold regular forums with stakeholders throughout the course of the project. The TSDS web site also can be used at any time throughout the project to provide feedback.
