Puerto Rico Research Partnership to Promote the Use of Education Data (Historical)

As part of its efforts to promote a culture of data use in education decision making, the Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) was increasing the presence and expanding the role of newly assigned data coaches for each of the island’s seven school regions. The Puerto Rico Partnership to Promote the Use of Education Data provided technical support to the PRDE data coaches as they became familiar with their role and learned to incorporate the data inquiry cycle as part of their role. In addition, the partnership also helped educational (K–12) practitioners use data to inform and differentiate classroom practices.
