Why Does Student Data Matter?

Why Does Student Data Matter?

In the last decade, states have made incredible investments to harness the value of education data and provide the critical information students, parents, teachers, and other education stakeholders need to make the best decisions for students. These state data systems are critical for personalizing student instruction, informing policy decisions, and improving the quality of the state’s schools. We will lose this amazing progress if we stop investing in data now.
