OVERVIEW
This webinar is based on a REL-NEI Fast Response Project to document initiatives by state education agencies (SEAs) to support educators at the district and school levels who are developing their capacity to use data for decision-making. The project team will provide examples of how SEA and school officials might support data-driven decision-making (DDDM) in their jurisdictions. The team further profiled service providers who, under contract to SEAs, provide professional development and technical assistance services to schools and districts as they work to implement DDDM in their districts.

REL-NEI Webinars provide an interactive forum for state education agencies, superintendents, principals, district level specialists, association heads, state legislatures, teachers unions, and parent associations seeking applied education research to make policy and practice decisions leading to improved student achievement and reduced performance gaps. These sessions not only present findings but place a special emphasis on connecting applied education research to the work of field practitioners.
