INDIANAPOLIS (DESIRE) – The Indiana Department of Education is announcing a new tool that schools will use to measure the academic success of their students.
The Indiana GPS Dashboard can be used by schools across the state, said Holly Lawson, IDOE’s deputy director of communications.
Lawson joined Phil Sanchez of News 8 for an “UnPHILtered” conversation Wednesday night to describe how the tool works, how schools can use it, and what benefit it could bring to Indiana’s prospective students when it kicks off in the fall.
“Right now, we measure student performance mostly on a single test score. But we know that students are much more than one test score,” Lawson said. “The Indiana GPS panel will transparently show how our schools are doing and how our students are doing in a variety of ways. It includes academic achievement, but also career and post-secondary readiness, communication and cooperation, work ethic, financial literacy, civic literacy and more.”
