Making Data Public
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that data-driven improvement is a group effort. When students, families, faculty, and others all concentrate on the same goals — and have the right data to guide their efforts — dramatic improvements result.
Recently, we’ve helped school teams as they made data public with eye-catching bulletin boards, progress letters to parents, and other communication tools. The most recent issue of our FOCUS newsletter highlights the best examples of public data sharing that we've seen so far.
Teacher Leadership Connections
The Boston Teacher Leadership Resource Center offers a series of graduate courses that enable BPS teacher leaders to strengthen the skills they need to succeed in their roles.
