{"product_id":"9781464810589","title":"From Compliance to Learning: A System for Harnessing the Power of Data in the State of Maryland","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the digital age, information is power. When information is effectively harnessed and aligned with student\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elearning, it carries the potential to radically transform the delivery of education, as well as the sector as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly, education systems are moving away from using education data narrowly for compliance purposes,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand instead are embracing data as a tool to drive system-wide innovation, professionalization, and most\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimportantly, learning. Whether to prioritize and optimize data and information systems around student leaming is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eno longer an option, but an imperative for education systems that aim to excel and achieve strong learning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoutcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the last several decades, fundamental shifts have occurred in the way that education data is collected,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emanaged and used. Today real-time learning data informs classroom instruction; predictive analytics identify atrisk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyouth before they drop out of school; and data from preschool to workforce (also referred to as P-20W) are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elinked to help guide education reforms. These represent just a few of the innovative ways that schools and other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estakeholders across the United States are hamessing data to improve education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study builds on a 2015 World Bank report that assessed education management information systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(EMIS) in the State of Maryland. That report uncovered a successful system and this one expands on lessons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elearned and ways to apply them in practice. The goal of this study is to distill Maryland's good practices in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeducation data systems, and share them in a way that is useful to education stakeholders interested in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eharnessing the power of data to strengthen learning outcomes. This study also examines the history of education\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edata collection and use in the United States with a focus on the State of Maryland, including a review of federal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand state legislation that has helped to shape Maryland's education data policies and systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060706787568,"sku":"9781464810589","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781464810589_p0.jpg?v=1763682859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781464810589","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
