Learn How to Use Data to Close the Achievement Gap
SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today released a video segment previewing how to use data to close the achievement gap. The segment previews the data series and outlines the other eight videos in the series available in PD 360.
“In order to help 100 percent of students become college and career ready by the time they graduate from high school, it is vital we close the achievement gap and help every student and educator get what they need to be effective,” said Chet Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “Videos and resources like these and others in PD 360 give educators access to tools and information to help them close the achievement gap in their school and make meaningful impact on their students.”
PD 360 is the most widely used online professional development solution in the US.
