Educators want and need to find ways to improve their student’s math proficiency. Is there a new and better way to improve math outcomes? In this white paper, Dr. Gregory Firn explains how asking the right questions and using the resulting SMART data is changing the conversation around how to select and use data – and get real results – in math achievement and raise proficiency. Dr. Firn, Superintendent in Residence for DreamBox Learning, raised algebra proficiency in his own district to 97% and math proficiency to 89% using SMART data.

1. 3 Questions That Can Improve Math Outcomes
Creating a Data-Driven Culture
Dr. Gregory Firn
Superintendent in Residence, DreamBox Learning

2. A data-driven culture is
an effective way to
structure districts,
schools, and classrooms
for transformative
impact.

3. It is an environment where you make the most of the
data you’re collecting and ensure that it will meet
your specific needs.

4. Where do you begin?
By asking the right questions...

8. At the intersection of all 3 questions is
The RIGHT DATA

10. The RIGHT DATA needs to be
measurable, actionable, relevant and timely
to math teachers and learners.

11. The analysis and
ability to act on
data is a necessary
shift made possible
by technology to
assess the math
learning process,
and not just the
product of math
learning.

12. Data that provides how a
learner is constructing
meaning, forming
understanding, and making
learning decisions in the
very process of learning—in
real time—is the basis of
the revolution in ongoing
formative assessment…

13. And the foundation of math proficiency.
