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

这个SGER提案是对学区迫切需要指导的及时回应，这些指导既需要分析他们目前收到的大量学生测试数据，也需要制定有效的策略，利用这些数据来促进更好的学生表现和学校的整体改进。 拟议的产品包括为从业人员提供的印刷和网络资源，并将以PI过去三年来对地区如何在决策中使用数据的研究为基础。 专着是为从业人员编写的，将侧重于利用数据指导学校改进计划，特别注意解决成绩差距，满足特殊人群的需要，并将课堂评估与高风险测试数据联系起来。 该专著将包括方案和PI通过其NSF资助的“使用数据项目”（ESI-0221415）开发的几个案例研究，并最终通过NSF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.
