In an effort to accurately measure the impact of the Personalized Learning Initiative, we created data teams made up of district staff and outside partners. Our partnerships with Microsoft. Digital Promise and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt have allowed us to collect data around the use of digital tools and measure the impact it is having on academic achievement and online collaboration. The data findings linked below provide comparisons between PLI and Non-PLI teachers and students.
