A descriptive assessment from the Executive Summary of this planning report. The Introduction similarly states that "CPS currently lacks the capacity to conduct substantial research or evaluation" and that CPS does little to support systematic use of data to improve teaching and student learning.
"As currently resourced, the Department of Research and Evaluation (DRE) does not have sufficient capacity to provide the information needed to inform and advance instruction and evaluate program initiatives."
