Effective Practices Conferences

Effective Practices Conferences logo

The Effective Practices Conferences, including the STATS-DC Conferences, and the SLDS P-20 Best Practice Conferences, provide venues for state and district staff to share effective practices and lessons learned, and engage with colleagues from across state lines as well as representatives from the federal government and national non-profit organizations. These events play a key role in helping staff build relationships and cultivate a community around P-20 education data system design, development, implementation, and use.
