The word “data” can be a trigger for many educators. However, data that tracks student engagement and academic progress gives us a picture of what’s happening, so we can create what’s possible. We're joined in this episode by educators from Crosstown High School, a project-based learning school in Memphis, Tennessee, for a look at a non-traditional approach to collecting and understanding student data.

That standardized testing data is always good data. I think there's a strong argument to be made for the fact that a lot of data measures things other than children's actual academic achievement and progress. It's measuring other cultural and societal factors that are often outside of the control of kids, or teachers, for that matter.

It's a misconception that the only good data is data that tracks growth in terms of academic progress. Social data is also really important for students.
