'Data Dashboards for School Directors'

Using data for accountability and student achievement

Published August 2008

Data Dashboards for School Directors was developed over the past year by WSSDA’s Student Achievement Task Force with assistance from the Center for Educational Effectiveness.

This groundbreaking guide shows school boards how they can distill and interpret essential information about student academic performance and use that data to effectively target policies and resources to improve student learning.

The guidebook is specifically focused on helping boards learning how to create and use an information management tool known as data "dashboard." Data dashboards display key indicators of student performance in an easy-to-read format that can be used to measure progress and identify trends.
