"Edwin is the Man." This
quote comes from a blog post from The Data Quality Campaign (DQC). DQC is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, national
advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, and they sing the praises of
Edwin. In the post, there is also a
link to a video piece about EWIS (Massachusetts' Early Warning Indicator System) featuring commentary from several Massachusetts districts. The Data is Power video is definitely worth a look as well!
I also learned this week about this
jam-packed graphic from the DQC folks about data use, inviting you to “Follow
one teacher, Ms. Bullen, and one of her students, Joey, through the school year
to see how data help teachers, parents, and others make sure students are
meeting education goals.”
Time is a precious commodity but if you have a few minutes as the week
winds down, definitely check these out!
