The latest of the campaign’s annual updates on states’ use of education data lays out four policy priorities for states:

  • Be clear about what students must achieve and use data to make sure all are on track to do so;
  • Provide teachers and education leaders flexibility, training, and support to use the data to answer questions and act on the answers;
  • Be transparent and explain exactly why student data is needed and how it will be used; and,
  • Give teachers and parents access to information on their students while protecting students’ privacy.
