The Data Wise Project supports educators in using collaborative data inquiry to drive continuous improvement of teaching and learning for all students.

Based at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and in partnership with educators around the world, we offer a suite of on-campus and online courses that teach a step-by-step process and habits of mind for using a wide range of data sources to improve instruction.

We are founded on the principle that all children and the adults that serve them deserve to be held to high expectations for continuous growth.
