ITEST Data Brief Volume 3, Issue 2, July 2016In 2015, 30 ITEST projects were awarded funding. STELAR surveyed these projects as part of the the Fall 2015 Management Information System (MIS) Survey and received a 97% completion rate. This data brief presents information from the 29 responding projects around the following questions: Which of the 7 ITEST Guiding Questions do projects choose to address?In what settings projects plan to conduct their work?What grade levels do projects serve?Who are included as project participants?In what locales do projects coduct their work? In what states are
Leaders To Learn From is a project of Education Week, the nation's foremost source for K-12 news and analysis. The Leaders To Learn From special report spotlights forward-thinking district leaders who seize on good ideas and execute them well in their school systems. This special edition profiles these leaders—many of whom have worked well below the public radar—to bring attention to the smart ideas and strategies they are using in their school systems to raise student achievement and build stronger communities.
