Meeting the Challenges of Accountability in Mathematics and Science: Using Data to Achieve Results -- A Resource for Practitioners

这项SGER建议是对学区在分析他们目前收到的大量学生测试数据和制定有效策略以利用这些数据来促进学生表现和学校整体进步方面的迫切需要做出的及时回应。拟议的产品包括为从业人员提供的印刷和基于网络的资源，并将基于PI过去三年对地区如何在决策中使用数据进行的研究。这本专为从业者撰写的专著将专注于使用数据来指导学校改进计划，特别关注解决成绩差距，满足特殊人群的需求，并将基于课堂的评估与高风险的测试数据联系起来。这本专著将包括由国际和平协会通过她的国家科学基金会资助的“使用数据项目”(ESI-0221415)制定的协议和几个案例研究，并最终将通过国家科学基金会系列出版。

This SGER proposal is a timely response to school districts' urgent need for guidance in both analyzing the vast quantities of student test data they are currently receiving and developing effective strategies for using those data to promote better student performance and overall school improvement. The proposed products include both print and web-based resources for practitioners and would be based on the PI's research-based studies over the past three years of how districts use data in decision-making. Written for a practitioner audience, the monograph would focus on using data to guide school improvement plans with particular attention to addressing achievement gaps, meeting the needs of special populations and connecting classroom-based assessments to high stakes test data. The monograph would include protocols and several case studies developed by the PI through her NSF-funded "Using Data Project" (ESI-0221415), and would ultimately be published through the NSF Foundations series.
