There's no denying the importance of data in education. With the right tools, educators can pinpoint subject areas where students struggle or skills that teachers need additional training to master. In operations, data can help administrators gauge the effectiveness of technology deployments and measure efficiency indicators such as use or spending. Those benefits are among the reasons why the Consortium for School Networking highlighted data-driven practices as one of the top five accelerators in its recently released report, "Driving K–12 Innovation: 2020 Hurdles + Accelerators." The rest of the list includes social-emotional learning, learners as creators, personalization and building the human capacity of leaders.

 "I fought really hard to get here," she said with tears filling her eyes. "I’m in my first internship and not only am I the only woman there, but I'm the only person of color. I don't belong in this field." I sat across the auditorium, stunned by this statement from a fellow audience member. I was at a forum discussion about women in the computing workforce at Spelman College. I was shaken by what I was hearing. Was it possible that the number of women in computer science is really that imbalanced? Sadly, the answer is yes.

 As the coronavirus crisis escalates, more and more restrictions are being put in place: no large gatherings, no in-person classes at school, no sporting events, avoid air travel, cancel unnecessary meetings, etc. Many employers have closed their campuses and required employees to work from home — when they can.

But there are many others that could provide remote services — but have just never made it part of their offerings.

Feedback is a crucial component of teacher professional development. Classroom observations are a standard approach for assessing and improving a teacher's instructional and classroom-management skills. The observations, whether unannounced or scheduled, typically involve an administrator physically sitting in a classroom and taking notes about a teacher's performance for later discussion. That process can take days and the administrator's presence can be distracting. But it doesn't have to be that way.

It takes innovative thinking for a school and its teachers to shift to online course work, but there are good models for it and many schools are prepared.
