About Us
The Research team has staff devoted to data, analytics, and program evaluation. The Research team comprises one piece of the Performance Outcomes team, which works alongside administrators, staff, and teachers to support student learning.
KSD Research serves the critical purposes of helping to develop new knowledge about teaching and learning, reviewing program data, and creating continual investment in data. This will ensure efficient and effective instructional and operational practices that turn data into action to improve educational practices and outcomes.
Our work is not possible without ongoing collaboration within Learning Supports as well as the other communities in KSD. In order to create data visualizations and conduct program evaluation and research, we must work closely with schools and teams across the district.
