Abstract

On May 4, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) issued a Request for Information (RFI), announcing that it is seeking to gather and share information about practices and policies regarding existing education data systems that disaggregate data on sub-groups within the Asian American/Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) student population. This report analyzes the 711 comments that were submitted in response to the RFI to look at: Opportunities/positive trends for data disaggregation, challenges to data disaggregation, and existing models of large-scale data disaggregation. The report concludes with recommendations to help diverse stakeholders call for disaggregated data to make visible and address the academic achievement gaps that exist within AANHPI communities.
