Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM)


In a climate of accountability and data-driven decision making, data tools and resources need to be readily available for educators and support staff. The California Technology Assistance Project (CTAP) promotes a variety of resources, tools, and action steps to support school improvement using assessment data for planning and implementing instructional strategies at the district, school, classroom, and individual student levels.
