5/12/2010 - Data Soutions for Education, LLC is established as a legal entity by Marvin Dillard and Patrick Quirk to improve education through the integration of data into the practice of education. Data Solutions for Education, LLC headquarters is located in Nicholasville, KY and focuses on K-12 school districts throughout North America.

Along with many educators, Data Solutions for Education, LLC recognizes the recent push for Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) has not resulted in the classroom-level impacts desired and believe that is because statewide systems end up focused on the needs of the state agency rather than the needs of local educators. While today's SLDS is a valuable tool to inform policy, in order to impact instruction, education analytics must:

• Drive action
• Focus on student-level data
• Be tailored to each user
• Be easy to access with intuitive functionality
• Be supported with professional development

Data Solutions for Education, LLC focuses on solutions for local education agencies with the goal of impacting education at the local level. Custom solutions are available as well as packaged offerings. A strong emphasis on integration with local professional development activities ensures educators not only understand how to access and understand the analytics, but also what actions to take based upon the information provided.

Data Solutions for Education, LLC is currently ramping up operations. Visit www.DS4Edu.com to learn about current clients and activities or to contact the team.
