Organization ProfileHoused at the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University, the Strategic Data Project (SDP) partners with school districts, charter school networks, and state education agencies to bring high quality research methods and data analysis to bear on strategic management and policy decisions. We believe that (1) policy and management decisions directly influence schools’ and teachers’ ability to improve student achievement; and (2) valid and reliable data analysis significantly improves the quality of decision-making. We believe that if we are able to bring together the right people, the right data, and the right analysis, then significantly better decision-making – as measured by student outcomes – will occur. To fulfill this model, SDP pursues two major courses of action: 1) placing top notch analytic leaders as “Fellows” with our partners (e.g. school district, charter school network or state education agency) for two years; and 2) conducting rigorous diagnostic analysis of teacher effectiveness and college going success using agency data. Both the diagnostic work and the work of SDP Fellows provide a foundation for decisions that improve student achievement and allocate resources wisely. SDP will disseminate its tools and methods, to broaden our reach beyond the places where we are engaged in two-year partnerships. We anticipate that significant findings will generate a growing demand for reliable research and data analysis, fundamentally altering the way decisions are made in public education.
