Our Data Sharing Agreement template is what we use to outline our partnership, including what data will be provided by the districts participating in our network.
This resource was created as part of the project, Data Strategy and Google Suite Reconfiguration, listed through Catalyst:Ed.
The UChicago Network for College Success (NCS) currently partners with 17 high schools in our NSI in Chicago. NCS Coaches developed the Key Driver Diagram as a model or frame for educators in our Freshman Success Improvement Community. The document shows the AIM of the network and the key drivers that will impact the work of improving educator practice and student outcomes. Also included are measures and change ideas. As continuous improvement is an iterative and collaborative process, NCS will tune and refine the Key Driver Diagram over time.
How we use the resource:
This document is used as a living model for the work of improving Freshman Success in our NSI. For the Exchange, this document is an example of a Key Driver Diagram and how NCS and our partner schools are engaging in CI. We recommend others use it a reference.

WestEd’s Math Practical Measurement Repository houses “practical measurement” tools and guidance for their use in the context of continuous improvement of 6th-9th grade math teaching and learning. Practical measurement is the deliberate and routine gathering, analysis, and interpretation of information aimed at enhancing the learning of educators as they test changes and improve processes that are at the heart of their work.
