As state and school districts invest in assessment systems and data systems to track student performance, the National Council on Teacher Quality has examined the extent to which teacher preparation programs are training teachers to understand assessment data and use it to inform instruction. Teachers, especially new teachers, reflect that they are not comfortable with the process. This information may serve to be of assistance with district leadership discussions around time needed to build a rich data culture. http://www.nctq.org/p/edschools/docs/assessment_publication.pdf
