Data-Driven Resource Allocation

Resource allocation in education refers to the strategic distribution of assets—including finances, personnel, and materials—to optimize educational outcomes. Data analytics informs these decisions by highlighting areas where resources will have the most significant impact on student success and merit recognition.

A district uses data to identify schools with declining math scores. Additional funding is allocated to these schools for hiring specialized math coaches and purchasing adaptive math software, aiming to improve student performance through targeted support.

In addition to resource allocation, data plays a vital role in evaluating teacher performance, an essential component of promoting educational excellence and supporting a merit-based system.
