League of Innovative SchoolsWhere to Start
To advance your district's maturity, begin in Chapter #1.
The Readiness Diagnostic enables school and district leaders to assess their readiness towards implementing a data interoperability solution. The diagnostic includes questions aligned to each domain and stage in the Readiness Framework.
Complete the Readiness Diagnostic to establish benchmarks for each of the three domains, then view your district’s personalized learning plan, which includes specific activity and resource recommendations for you.
The Readiness Diagnostic only takes 5-10 minutes to complete, and you can save and share your results.
