A classroom data literacy intervention for pre-service teachers (2015, background): “The latter focus wasmotivated by evidence for the relationship between beliefs and data use practices (see Coburn& Turner, 2011, for review; Kerr et al., 2006) and the relationship between beliefs and teaching behavior in general (Pajares, 1992; Tschannen-Moran, Hoy, & Hoy, 1998).”
Professional Development in the Accountability Context: Building Capacity to Achieve Standards (2010, background): “Since NCLB, there has been an increasing focus on the use of student achievement data from state and local assessments in instructional decision-making ( Kerr, Marsh, Ikemoto, Darilek, & Barney, 2006 ).”
A Systemic View of Implementing Data Literacy in Educator Preparation (2013, positive): “• Collect and use multiple sources of data (Bernhardt, 2008; Goldring & Berends, 2009; Kerr, Marsh, Ikemoto, Darilek, & Barney, 2006; Love et al., 2008; White, 2005).”
Research on Data Use: A Framework and Analysis (2011, background): “Technological tools can shape access to data (Kerr et al., 2006; Means et al., 2009; Wayman & Stringfield, 2006), which, in turn, has the potential to influence what teachers and others notice and talk about in data use routines.”
Using data to support educational improvement (2009, background): “…with research on effective data practices, requiring attention to data access, validity, collection, storage, integrity, analysis and reporting (Kerr et al. 2006) and of evolving a data culture, researchinformed practices, leadership and learning communities (Heritage and Yeagley 2005; Lachat…”
Using Student Achievement Data to Support Instructional Decision Making (2009, background): “Choppin (2002); Kerr et al. (2006); Light, Wexler, and Heinze (2005); Mieles and Foley (2005); Wayman, Cho, and Johnston (2007). Wayman, Stringfield, and Yakimowski (2004) also discuss the importance of data quality.”
Data-informed curriculum reform: Which data, what purposes, and promoting and hindering factors. (2010, methodology): “Training for data management and data use (Breiter & Light, 2006; Kerr et al., 2006; Wayman & Stringfield, 2006b; Wohlstetter et al., 2008) may also lead to an increase in data use.”
Teachers’ Use of Assessment Data to Inform Instruction: Lessons from the past and Prospects for the Future (2015, background): “In their study of three urban school districts, Kerr et al. (2006) reported that training for teachers with regard to data analysis and interpretation was an important factor in teachers’ ability to use data because capacity gaps were highly visible.”
Professional Learning for Using Data: Examining Teacher Needs & Supports (2015, background): “The problems shared by our districts in the present study may well be common across the nation, given the struggles shown by recent research (Anderson et al., 2010; Kerr et al., 2006; Louis et al., 2010; Wayman, Cho, et al., 2012; Wayman et al., 2007; Young, 2006).”
Teacher Learning, Instructional Considerations and Principal Communication: Lessons from a Longitudinal Study of Collaborative Data Use by Teachers (2011, background): “Likewise, although research has begun to investigate organizational and leadership supports for collaborative data use (Kerr et al., 2006; Young, 2006; Weinbaum, 2009; Anderson et al., 2010; Blanc et al., 2010; Cosner, 2011, forthcoming; Datnow, 2011) little attention has been given to principal com”
Interventions Promoting Educators’ Use of Data: Research Insights and Gaps (2012, methodology): “In six studies, researchers found that interventions affected organizational culture and norms (Corcoran & Lawrence, 2003; Huffman & Kalnin, 2003; Kerr et al., 2006; Jaquith & McLaughlin, 2009; Supovitz, 2006; Sutherland, 2004).”
Building Teachers Data-use Capacity: Insights from Strong and Developing Coaches (2014, methodology): “At the same time, we know that not all teachers are equipped to analyze and use data to adjust their planning and instruction (Cosner, 2012; Heritage, Kim, Vendlinski, & Herman, 2009; Kerr et al., 2006; Means et al., 2011; Marsh, Pane, and Hamilton, 2006; Oláh et al., 2010; Supovitz & Klein, 2003).”

External mandates and instructional leadership: school leaders as mediating agents (2012, background): “Over the last decade, increasing research attention to districts suggests that, while some may be up to the task of setting strong improvement agendas and providing support for schools (Honig, 2006; Kerr et al., 2006; Togneri and Anderson, 2003), others are not (Coburn et al.”
