Welcome to the Data-Driven Decision Making in Education Special Interest Group (SIG)! Our SIG serves as an intellectual home for people interested in educational data use. Data-driven decision making is a diverse topic of examination, and members of our SIG engage in work across a broad spectrum of topics, such as: components of data use (e.g., professional learning, data teams, data coaches, facilitators and barriers of data use); uses of “big data” and data analysis; longitudinal data systems; use of local data systems; theoretical issues related to data use; leadership for data use; uses of data by teachers, students, parents, school leaders, and system/district leaders; continuous improvement efforts in schools and cultures of inquiry; data literacy/capacity efforts; policy issues that surround data use; and issues of data privacy. 

While our members study and practice in diverse areas, we are united in our shared commitment to: 1) promote quality research, practice, and policy related to educational data use; 2) foster meaningful collaborations among SIG members; 3) provide mentoring for young scholars and graduate students; and 4) advance the field of educational data use.
