DataDriven Decision Making.................................................................

The potential benefits of DataDriven Decision Making (DDM) are great!  But, finding the key to unlock these benefits challenges educators across the country. 

Growing numbers of school systems and states have responded to NCLB by developing the capacity to process and disseminate data in an efficient and timely manner.  However, few have coupled their data infrastructures with sustained, enriching programs that facilitate the meaningful use of data at the local level. 

Through our evaluation of DDM initiatives, Hezel Associates has determined first-hand that educators play a key role in creating a culture that values the powerful role data plays in today’s schools.
