• W792827726 abstract "Education data professionals devote a substantial amount of their time to collecting, summarizing and reporting school performance data. Federal and state laws prescribe much of the work required, and most of us in the profession work hard to ensure fairness and accuracy in the implementation of those laws. Nonetheless, we often find ourselves in a difficult position as we try to reconcile divergent stakeholder perspectives on the ethics of reporting these data. We are presented with an ethical dilemma: Where statutes and policies allow room for interpretation, what set of values should guide implementation?One common ethical perspective we encounter is that government entities-including school districts and state departments of education-should operate in a manner that is open and transparent to citizens. Education stakeholders who highly value this ethical perspective often emphasize that public sector employees should be accountable for acting in the public interest. They also stress that the public has a right to know about the finances, operations and outcomes of publicly-funded activities. These stakeholders argue that all data collected about student and school performance should be made readily available to the public. This perspective is sometimes accompanied by the belief that transparency of government operations and results will both strengthen the democratic process and empower members of the public to take action to improve the system.Education data professionals also commonly encounter an alternative ethical perspective that, at times, conflicts with the values of transparency and accountability. Education stakeholders who take this alternative perspective argue that ethical decisions about publicly reporting education data should be made to maximize positive impact for students. From this perspective, these stakeholders often contend that public reporting of school performance data should be more nuanced and restricted.A reasonable person could adopt either of these perspectives or favor one ethical perspective in certain situations but not others. Yet, the current education policy environment requires that multiple ethical perspectives be considered in order to best assure the success of systems-level projects like public data reporting. This sometimes puts education data professionals in the challenging position of answering a difficult question: what action should we take when thoughtful, well-intentioned stakeholders disagree? Another helpful way to frame this question is: how can we best work together when we value different things?This article provides guidance for education data professionals in exploring these questions. In the first sections, the article contains background and context on the topic of school performance reporting. The article then includes an exploration of two formal ethical frameworks and their application to the dilemmas education data professionals face in publicly reporting data. These frameworks are the deontological and the consequentialist, and they mirror the two perspectives described above. The article also contains a case study from my own experience and a summary of implications for professional practice.Education Data as a Tool for Transparent GovernmentOpenness and transparency in governance have a long history in the United States. As early as 1822, President James Madison wrote, A popular Government, without popular information...is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy...A people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives (Madison, 1999, p. 790). At the federal level, the Freedom of Information (FOIA) Act (1966), grounded in the principle that Madison described, guarantees public access to government records and data (Piotrowski, 2007, p. 2). All fifty states and the District of Columbia have also enacted open records acts (Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 2011, p. …" @default.
