A growing number of schools across the country are implementing standards-based learning (SBL) practices and have found with this shift students are more interested in how they can improve their understanding of concepts rather than how they can raise their grades.

View This ResourceTeachers and leaders recognize the importance of being data-driven to improve instruction, but one key group is often left out of the process: students. Using data with students empowers them and allows them to take control of their learning creating a positive culture around learning in the classroom. Students of all ages can use data, helping them to understand learning as a process of growth over time. To learn more about how to communicate and discuss data with students, check out this exclusive clip from Trinity Mundungo, an expert ASSISTments teacher and hear how she positively starts class sharing and discussing data with students.
