History

TERC is a nonprofit educational research, development, and professional development organization. For more than 40 years we have been at the forefront of educational innovation, developing initiatives and programs that address current needs in K-12 classrooms, museums and afterschool programs. Using Data was developed and field-tested by the researchers at TERC through a National Science Foundation grant. This project spanned 3 years, and the work was published in two books:

The Data Coach’s Guide to Improving Learning for All Students (Love, Nancy, et al. 2008)
Using Data to Improve Learning for All (Love, Nancy, et al. 2009)

The pedagogy and materials used in our professional development programs are derived from these resources.

Using Data’s professional development programs have now experienced over ten years of successful work with a diverse range of schools and districts: large and small urban, rural, and suburban settings, with demographics including English Language learners, special education students, diverse student populations, and high poverty.
