Description¶
An implementation initiative contracted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and conducted by Mathematica to help states develop best practices for linking student and teacher data to improve educational outcomes.
Components¶
- Teacher-Student Data Link project supporting states in linking student and teacher data: The Teacher-Student Data Link (TSDL) project is an initiative contracted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with Mathematica to conduct an implementation study. The article states the project "aims to support states in developing best practices for linking student and teacher data to improve educational outcomes." Its first-year implementation findings (2011) are reported in this publication. (Kristin Hallgren et al. (2013))
- Teacher-Student Data Link (TSDL) project: The Teacher-Student Data Link (TSDL) project was a Gates Foundation-funded initiative launched in 2010 involving five states, each with three pilot districts, aimed at bolstering linked teacher-student data. The article states: "In 2010, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation invited five states and three pilot districts in each state to participate in the Teacher-Student Data Link (TSDL) project." Mathematica evaluated its first year and produced this follow-up brief on lasting accomplishments. (Cassie Pickens Jewell et al. (2014))
Claims¶
- The TSDL project's first year of implementation (2011) produced reportable implementation findings [+W]
- The TSDL project produced three lasting accomplishments: implementation support, ongoing state collaboration, and new TSDL-inspired data activities [+W]
