Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The report recommends that DRE "develop and manage a data warehouse to support teaching and karning." Currently, "except for ITBS data, there is no source of data to inform and sup- port local or system-wide efforts to improve teach- ing and learning"; data are scattered across the student information system, school databases, teacher grade books, and personnel records. The report states: "An integrated database, especially one IinLng students and their teachers, will greatly facil- itate the kind of research needed to support instruc- tional improvement in CPS."
