EDN 575 - Data Literacy

Collecting, recording, and analyzing student data helps teachers make decisions about instruction including when it is working and when adjustments need to be made. Federal and state mandates, including the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Common Core State Standards, and the Massachusetts Professional Standards for Teachers require the collection and reporting of student data which is used to evaluate schools, students, and teachers. This course will prepare teachers to become skillful at the regular use of different data sources to improve teaching and learning and to work on school based data teams.
