Data Use for Educational Achievement, Equity, and Student Well-Being

Sun, April 6, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 112A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session highlights the important and complex relationship between research and practice from an accountability framework within school districts. It presents an overview of the research to practice journey from an educational achievement, equity, and student wellbeing perspectives. A series of innovative approaches that closes the research to practice gap, strengthens cross-sector partnering, and promotes equity for all students in all communities are presented. Although data rich schools and districts are becoming the norm, the critical role of data use to promote student learning and achievement remains challenging, particularly when interpretation and implementation occurs across sectors, administrative levels, and disciplines. A key element in the session is the documented research-based strategies presented for mobilizing information into knowledge and action.
