The Data Collaborative community was initiated to identify & implement best practices and collectively contribute to the Charlotte community goal of 80 by 2025. The community has agreed to target ten skills reflected in the Reading Success Pathway that backwards map student reading success. We are continually discovering and capturing the best way to maximize our data use in improving our students outcomes. If we can achieve this change within our collective knowledge, skills and mindsets that we, as practitioners, come to depend on, understand and use data to improve we will see an increase in student outcomes.
