Description¶

For building districts' data processes for school improvement, the guide recommends that leaders "Establish an LEA-wide student learning data professional learning community (PLC) to study student performance trends and identify and address challenges" and "Establish an LEA-wide schedule for LEA and school leaders to study student learning data to develop a shared understanding."
