Data Systems Tools IIS/IIR Student Achievement Data Longitudinal Data System Personalized Learning Student Achievement Data Teacher Resource Link IIS/IIR Learning Object Repository Tools

GA-AWARDS GSFC PSC GOSA Data Repository DECAL USG DOE TCSG DOL Another huge data piece is the development of GA-AWARDS, the state-wide data repository. The purpose of having this comprehensive data in one place to allow one agency to answer research and policy questions by looking at longitudinal data from DOE, PSC, DECAL, TCSG, USG, GSFC, Private Colleges, Department of Labor. Both of these data systems, Ga AWARDS and LDS, will continue to be sustained through state funding.
