Abstract

Improvement networks are a relatively recent phenomenon in US education that bring together improvement science and networks, creating inter-organizational networks of educators working together to improve specific educational problems. A shared emphasis of these networks is the use of data and measurement to support the improvement process. This study extends the field’s understanding of data and measurement use beyond technical aims, exploring pressures for and use of data to navigate the social and political dimensions in a complex change effort.
