Collaborating With Schools and Using Data to Reduce Inequities in Student Outcomes
Thu, April 11, 10:50am to 12:20pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 116Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session will provide an overview of Networks for School Improvement (NSIs), collaborative teams in which districts and schools work together with researchers to identify and implement strategies to improve student outcomes (particularly for historically underserved populations) and use inquiry cycles and data-informed decision-making to test and refine those strategies. Three research teams will describe their collaborations with NSIs and results of evaluations of NSI progress and effectiveness. The three research teams focus on different student outcomes at different grade levels and in different regions of the United States with the unifying goal of collaborating with schools and districts and using data to reduce equity gaps in student achievement and college enrollment.
