Each profile summarizes one agency’s experience with using data and working with Strategic Data Project (SDP) and Education Pioneers (EP) fellows. Mathematica Policy Research developed the 12 profiles using data collected during site visit interviews in fall and winter 2013–14. The interviews focused on the data collection efforts of the study participants, which included state education agencies, school districts, and a charter management organization (CMO); their use of the data; their analyses; and their reporting efforts. We provide background on the SDP and EP fellowship programs and the study’s purpose and methodology in “Changing Education Agencies from the Inside Out: Year 2 Report on the Strategic Data Project and Education Pioneers.”
