Using Data to Improve Schools: Raise Student Achievement by Incorporating Data Analysis in School Planning

By Marguerite Roza, PhD, New England Comprehensive Center

The "Toolkit" is intended for use by schools and district leaders and their staff interested in using data to improve their school programs to ensure that every student can reach high levels of achievement. A six-step process guides school improvement teams as they collect, understand, and use data for creating and revising school action plans designed to increase student achievement, particularly those students who have traditionally been underserved. Assistance can be provided by the New England Comprehensive Center at EDC, Inc. for interested users who meet these criterias: New England district and state department of education level individuals providing assistance to high poverty schools or schools with a high proportion of students served through the Improving America's Schools Act (ESEA). Assistance also provided to schools that meet fit the above description.
