We are so lucky to work with so many amazing educators, and Shannon Leasure is a perfect example! 🍎✨ As the Director of Mathematics Instruction at the Ohio Valley ESC, she uses data-driven coaching and collaborative professional learning to empower teachers and deepen students' understanding of math. And it's working. In fact, Shannon has worked with districts that are now beating state norms on standardized assessments! Shannon’s goal is simple: “That kids love math, see themselves as math people, and that teachers love to teach math.” She views math as more than a subject—it's about building perseverance, collaboration, and critical thinking. “Just like reading is important, it's also essential to be data-literate individuals.” Read her story: https://bit.ly/3ZLOIoL #k12education #mathmagic #mathematicseducation #dataineducation

In his latest blog post, BetterLesson CEO Matthew Kennard talks about why we should prioritize data-driven high-quality professional learning (HQPL): "For too long, professional learning has been measured primarily by qualitative metrics—how educators feel about the training they receive—rather than the direct impact on student achievement. While educator satisfaction is undoubtedly important, it cannot be the sole measure of success. If our goal is to improve student outcomes, then we must hold ourselves accountable to the same standards of evidence and rigor that we apply to other educational initiatives."
