Suggestions for more effectively using student data

Suggestions for more effectively using student data
 
The Data Quality Campaign (DQC), an organization advocating that families and educators receive timely educational data to increase student achievement, has released a new report, Time to Act: Making Data Work for Students, which offers suggestions to policymakers on how data systems can be used more effectively. Primarily, they encourage states to shift their focus from building data systems to using data to determine and meet each student's individual academic needs.
The DQC partnered with educational leaders to determine four policy priorities that they deemed most critical:
  • Measure what matters: Have clear achievement goals and use data to ensure that each student is on track to achieve them
  • Make data use possible: Provide teachers with data-use training and support
  • Be transparent and earn trust: Make sure all districts know how their students are doing, why data is important, and how it's being used
  • Guarantee access and protect privacy: Give parents and teachers timely data that is kept private             
Each policy priority is followed by specific recommendations, successful state examples, and DQC resources for further information.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
