Data Innovator Award

The Data Innovator Award honors schools that exemplify a visionary approach to advancing educational excellence through engagement with data. Award-winning schools will be those that involve staff in the use of data to support student growth, and that have implemented data-driven strategies that address each student's unique needs. These efforts will result in demonstrable improvements in student performance and will have fostered environments where every child can thrive.
