Data can be numbers such as test scores and percentiles, or it can involve observations and feedback. Different kinds of data can help you understand different aspects of a situation.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to ask questions and communicate about data is an important tool for family-school collaboration. MASFEC is launching a new initiative to support educators and families to build their data literacy. Check out the information below to learn more about how different types of data can inform conversations about student learning.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1252 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/masfec.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Achievement.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/>Educational Achievement Testing<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"JsGRdQ\">Educational Achievement testing focuses on a student&#8217;s current achievement level at the time of testing in areas such as reading, mathematics, oral language, and more.
