MarGrady Research
Project Title
For developing and disseminating a national school data dashboard
Date
Jun. 08, 2023
Duration
12 months
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated and exacerbated longstanding disparities in educational opportunities available to students across the country. In order to address these inequities, practitioners and policymakers need access to comprehensive data about the gaps in the system and the opportunities to improve. With Corporation support, MarGrady Research developed a data dashboard to track segregation in states and school districts across the country and began to use the dashboard to analyze segregation in select districts.Continued Corporation support will enable MarGrady Research to refine and disseminate the dashboard as well as complete case studies to inform policymakers, system leaders, and researchers.

Description
The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated and exacerbated longstanding disparities in educational opportunities available to students across the country. In order to address these inequities, practitioners and policymakers need access to comprehensive data about the gaps in the system and the opportunities to improve. With Corporation support, MarGrady Research began building a data dashboard to track segregation in states and school districts across the country and interviewed a variety of stakeholders about how this dashboard could be most useful. Continued support will allow MarGrady to complete the national dashboard and evaluate at least one integration initiative as a proof of concept for researchers and policymakers.

Project Title
For data analysis and technical assistance support to New York State school districts
Date
Jun. 13, 2019
Duration
13 months
Description
In an effort to enhance the experiences and achievement of all students, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) launched the New York State Integration Project (NYSIP) to facilitate greater diversity in the state’s public schools. The NYSED engaged MarGrady Research and the Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) at Columbia University to build the capacity of districts to implement the NYSIP by providing technical assistance and data analysis as districts develop, implement, evaluate, and refine their strategic plans within their unique contexts. This critical support from MarGrady Research and the CPRL will ultimately equip districts to evaluate the impact of the NYSIP activities. While this project focuses on students in New York state, MarGrady Research and CPRL aim to develop knowledge that can be used in other districts working toward more diverse schools. With Corporation support to MarGrady Research, the research team will provide technical assistance and analytical support that will enable New York schools to participate in and evaluate student diversity efforts.
