Data Integration Insights from the Curriculum & Learning Improvement Project (CLIP)
The Curriculum and Learning Project (CLIP), funded by the Gates Foundation, brought together eight organizations to enhance middle school students' learning experiences. CLIP developed an integrated data system that consolidates data from existing platforms, allowing for easier and faster data sharing among members. This system provides real-time insights into how middle school math materials are used, helping educators link curriculum implementation to student data and make informed instructional decisions. The initial pilot provided valuable insights into both educators' experiences and the integrated system's available data, highlighting key takeaways and lessons for future data integration efforts which are provided below.
