DASPP provides several optional services to assist schools, districts, and educational collaboratives communicate data, data analysis, and proposed plans to their communities. It is important to effectively and consistently communicate messages to Community Partners and Constituency Groups (parents, teachers, and other interested parties).

Through the DASPP, the following communication tools can be created in support of schools and districts:

PowerPoint Presentations - PowerPoint presentations showing results for a school or district's custom data analysis. The presentations may be used as part of live 'displays' (school committee, teacher, parent, or community meetings), incorporated into a school website, or distributed on disk or via email to interested parties (parents, community leaders, teachers).

Websites - Custom website showing results for a school or district's custom data analyses. Each website will allow parents, teachers, and others in the community to 'browse' data and the resulting data analysis and strategic plans.

Word Processing Documents - Custom publications illustrating results for a school or district's custom data analyses and/or strategic plans. Includes the option of presentation as a PDF file.

Desktop Publishing Brochures and Newsletters - Brochures, flyers, or newsletters showing results for a school's custom data analysis, the resulting analysis and strategic plans. May also be provided as a PDF file.  Will be unique to meet the local needs of schools and districts.
