Agenda Item #4: Rose, Thorn, Bud
The mission of the GAT:

This team supports activities across the various groups in the Ed-Fi Governance model. The GAT manages the critical governance processes such as work identification, qualification, polling and prioritization.
Jamboard was used with GAT members noting current Ed-Fi successes (Rose), challenges (Thorn) and potential (Bud).
More discussion is needed around customizations - perhaps weighting especially if in conflict with design considerations. Need to communicate with similar language about SIS customizations. Should develop a multi-year path with identification of real barriers on this issue. Having a lot of options for data out is helpful.
How can new members get involved in Ed-Fi’s Slack? What is the #1 main communication tool for Ed-Fi? It would be good to have an internal communication tool that enables articulating (1) this is where we are, (2) this is what we’re doing and (3) this is what you need to do - an understanding of how we’re doing and what we should do next. Troy suggested a capabilities management maturity framework.
What resources do we need as an SEA to communicate about Ed-Fi with LEAs? It was suggested to connect with Collaboratives and LEA work group. Another idea is to connect with the CIO Network at the SEA level.
Also want to know how to leverage the community and better cultivate GAT members to help each other. Another issue is supporting vendor work in single district implementations. More engagement from vendor side would be good. Some vendors are working to support Ed-Fi and include in their systems certification vs LEA certification. What does certification mean on an SEA/LEA level?
