The Education Beat: Decision-Driven Data Collection

Schools that “Beat the Odds” use a lot of data. In our study, educators analyzed the data they had, talked about the data in teams, used data to figure out what they needed to do, and collected new data to monitor their plans. We talk to Ashley Pursley, Digital Integration Specialist, Glenview Middle School, Anderson School District 5, who exemplifies the art of using data to drive excellence, and the science of collecting data as evidence of effectiveness.
