New Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University Article: Using Data for Decisions
This Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University article, Beyond Test Scores: Leading Indicators for Education, examines how four districts that are at the forefront of the field in using data to inform decisions are developing and using leading indicators for education.
