Postsecondary Data Advisory Committee K-12 / PSE feedback • Lack of trust and personality conflicts are on-going challenges • Joint activity (e.g. P-20 data systems) can generate good will) • Find opportunities that have shared value for motivated individuals • Demonstrate how data can be used • Identify what you need to (jointly) get to where you need to go • Start small to demonstrate results • Data generated reports can actually challenge trust that has been created during the development process • Trust is built on data integrity and willingness to address other’s needs • Foster the SHEEO/CCSSO relationship in each state • Institutionalize relationships • Lack of resources especially time • Shared interest is critical
