Turning Data into Student Success
How two districts moved from stalled progress to measurable gains
Many schools are collecting the right data, but struggle to translate it into consistent, school-wide action. Disconnected efforts and limited time for collaboration can stall progress. When systems are aligned and teams are supported to use data effectively, instruction becomes more targeted—and student outcomes improve.
These case studies highlight what that looks like in practice.
When Teams Use Data Well, KIDS WIN
Bettendorf Community School District (IA)
“The initial training provided our teams with the essential protocols and frameworks they needed
to implement effective data-driven instruction throughout the year.”
— Jayme Olson, Executive Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
When Systems Align, STUDENTS SOAR
Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7 (IL)
“There’s a lot more alignment between buildings now. We’re not just handing out reports—we’re having real conversations about the data.”
— Rebeca Artime, K–5 Literacy Coach
