Report: Administrator data literacy is key to student success | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
In order to foster success among students, school administrators should be well-versed in data literacy, according to a new brief by the Data Quality Campaign, an education nonprofit.

The report from the Washington, D.C.-based organization, which advocates for the use of data in education, argues that school and district administrators need to be able to collect, analyze and use data to make decisions that will ultimately improve outcomes for students.

“Though administrators may not work directly with students in the classroom, they must still share the goal of using data as a tool to improve students’ academic outcomes,” the brief reads.
