D2i
Data to Information is where school accountability meets everyday practice.
A New Perspective
Through research and experience, we found that while educators have access to school accountability data and Tier 1 Curricula, they often struggle to connect the two. It's our perspective that without this understanding, educators can be unable to clearly determine where school improvement efforts result in success or failure. This leads to tireless efforts and valuable resources spent on processes and products that have a marginal effect on student achievement.
We were determined to create a system that simplified accountability’s connection to the work happening in schools, so educators could focus on the right work and see student growth. The foundation of Data to Information is the core belief that Louisiana’s school accountability framework defines a highly effective school system and has a direct connection to the everyday practices of schools. We deliberately built D2i products and services to clarify that connection and transform school accountability data into actionable information for student success.
We are incredibly excited to share our system with Louisiana schools, and even more excited to see the results.
We sincerely look forward to working with you.
