What place do data have in the classroom? Last week, the ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ Foundation’s Education Policy Program produced a new that describes how teachers can use their students’ data to improve classroom outcomes, and how states can help give teachers those skills. The report two states – Oregon and Delaware – that are doing it right.
In this week’s Education Policy Program podcast, ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ Managing Editor Fuzz Hogan talks with the report’s co-authors (, former Senior Policy Analyst at ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ and now Corporate and Foundation Relations Manager at KIPP Los Angeles Schools, and , Program Associate with the Education Policy Program). We discuss the potential of data-driven instruction in K-12 classrooms, the challenges that Oregon and Delaware faced–and that other states could face in similar efforts–and the merits of helping teachers master these skills.
