Sam Stringfield and Jeff Wayman, both of Johns Hopkins, and Mary E. Yakimowski-Srebnick, officer of the Division of Research, Evaluation, Assessment and Accountability for the Baltimore City Public School System, are the authors of Scaling Up Data Use in Classrooms, Schools, and Districts. The paper discusses software that enables teachers to use student data to improve achievement. The paper covers what is needed to make the software available for use in nearly any school and includes a review of commercially available software.
