<p>In this unit, Justin will discuss why it’s important to measure progress for your initiative and suggest ideas for how to do that. You’ll hear from Blake Middle School (Medfield, Massachusetts), which has piloted several initiatives around technology. The Community Charter School of Cambridge (Cambridge, Massachusetts) will share how they use data in multiple ways to improve instruction. </p>
