Using Data to Improve Achievement
 This presentation is no longer available.
  Partly because of the No Child Left Behind Act and partly because of advances in technology, a major push is underway to gather data about student achievement that can be used to inform a wide range of educational decisions. Through funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, states are now being encouraged to create statewide longitudinal data systems to help track student achievement. But is the increased collection of student data yielding commensurate improvements in achievement?

In this one hour event, our expert panel discusses how to collect and use data effectively to support the growth of student achievement.
