Our Work

Moving Your Numbers provides examples of real districts — from small rural communities to large urban centers — that are positively affecting the performance of all children, including students with disabilities, through collective and focused actions of adults. While different in demographics, each of these districts has publicly committed to improving teaching and learning for every child through effective data use and changing the ways in which adults across the system work and learn together.

Why It Matters

Is it possible to affect the learning of all children and win the 'numbers game' in the process? YES! The work featured on this site is not intended to tell people what to do. It is not about offering the program or strategy that can take the place of instructional leadership. Instead, this work is about encouraging people — at all levels of the education enterprise — to examine what they do and the degree to which those actions make a difference for all children.
