You may have heard of Data-Driven Instruction (DDI). But what is Data-Driven Learning?

Data-Driven Learning will replace DDI, I predict. Why? Because today's youth need to respond entrepreneurially to the abundance of data that surrounds them. To thrive in the Information Age, they must learn to cut through the noise, discern what data matters, and respond accurately.

Data-Driven Learning is like teaching a teenager how to read the gauges on the car dashboard herself, without the adult saying one word from the shotgun seat. And that’s what parents want. We want our teens to learn how to drive that car and read the dials independently.

In this show, Michael Norton, manager of blended learning and academics at KIPP Texas, explains why Data-Driven Learning is the "handshake" to Data-Driven Instruction at his schools. He views both strategies as important.

This Tuesday we're publishing a free “Progress Power Tracker.” You can use it with your students to help them look at their data for the week, graph their results, and then analyze their results.

The tool will help you equip your learners to read and respond to their OWN data. You can use it at the elementary, middle, or high school level. You’ll find the Progress Power Tracker next Tuesday on the Tuesday Share page:
