This document summarizes a presentation on using high-quality data to ensure student success. It discusses establishing clear achievement measures and providing teachers flexibility and support to use data. Effective indicators are predictive of outcomes, actionable, and research-based. Examples from Chicago show how tracking students being "on-track" to graduate by 9th grade strongly correlates with eventual graduation rates and improved after implementing this indicator in their accountability system. The presentation then shifts to discussing Minnesota's GradMinnesota initiative and data reporting system.

Can I trust the data I have access to? Is this data an accurate reflection of reality? Where can I go to find reliable information?
