Using student data for district, school, and classroom improvement planning can be very helpful when it is used correctly and with the necessary security and privacy practices in place. Although data can be used to facilitate change and improvement, there is a need to balance the usefulness of this data with the privacy of the students who the data is about.

IWAS to MyISBE Listening Tour

​​ELN LogoJoin ISBE’s Chief Information Officer Edobor Efam to give your feedback on the ISBE Web Application Security (IWAS), as the agency plans a refresh of the portal to enhance its features and make it easier to navigate and more user-friendly. We want to hear from school and district administrators, regional superintendents, and other users of IWAS about your pain points, concerns, and ideas.

We’re also giving IWAS a new name: MyISBE! With MyISBE, the days of multiple accounts, static data, and unverified account information are over. MyISBE will provide real-time data and dashboards multi-factor authentication, and single sign-on.

IWAS is the primary security portal for administrators to apply for and manage grants from ISBE and to access ISBE’s data and reporting systems. The new MyISBE will launch in FY 2026. We look forward to engaging you throughout the process from now until then.

All events 1-3 p.m. Please RSVP at isbe.eventbrite.com​. Download and share the flyerPDF Document.

Persons who need special accommodations, including language translation services, should contact ISBE's Language Access Coordinator Diana Torres at dtorres@isbe.net or (312) 814-5818 at least two weeks in advance of the event.

The Data Quality Dashboard is an interactive tool designed to provide feedback to districts on the accuracy of their submitted data. While use of the Data Quality Dashboard is optional, it can be an extremely helpful tool to ease data collections. The goal of the Dashboard is to empower districts to take the quality of their data into their own hands by checking submitted data against a series of audits. The Dashboard will provide pathways for districts to correct any and all potential errors without needing to call ISBE.
