It is so easy to read and follow along with that I will pass it along to my colleagues. This will be of great help to us. One thing that we have been discussing in our district is related to SMART goals. We have been encouraged by a consultant to focus on continuous improvement (ie. All students will improve their reading proficiency) rather than select percentages (some call arbitrary) for our targets. I think your paper will add to our discussions in that area. Thanks!

They got a lot out of it. I was wondering if you were familiar with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy? It is an intensely data driven educational approach AND it is done expertly by people with no experience in education or data collection (many parents running home-based education programs for children with Autism). I think the two worlds--data driven teachers and ABA parents--could learn a lot from each other.

I think the two worlds–data driven teachers and ABA parents–could learn a lot from each other.
