Description¶

The report recommends that DRE's instructional support work "with school staff through the AIOs, who will serve as intermediaries," providing assistance from basic help understanding test score and gain results to helping staff "formulate and conceptualize questions about student performance and then design inquiry strate- gies to pursue them." Area offices include data analysts, and DRE staff provide them with data and training rather than working directly with schools.

Design Implications¶

Constraints¶
