- RESOURCE SUMMARY
- Wayman, Cho, & Johnston describe a data-informed district as one where educational data inform every decision and are used by every educator at every level. In such a district, common understandings exist about the nature of learning, the nature of teaching, and how data may best inform these charges. This report outlines the findings and recommendations from this evaluation. Using interview data from 128 individuals and survey data from 435 individuals, Wayman, Cho, & Johnston thoroughly examine data use, data practices, opinions, and technological resources at every level of the district. These detailed findings are used to outline a series of detailed recommendations for the evaluated District to efficiently become a data-informed district.
