District Nomination & Selection

Each of the districts featured in Moving Your Numbers was identified for inclusion based on three factors: (1) the district was known to be engaged in certain practices believed to be associated with higher student learning; (2) the district was committed to district-wide implementation of such practices; and (3) the district was committed to and showing evidence of improving the performance of all students and student groups.
