Ellen B. Mandinach, a Senior Research Scientist in the Evaluation Research Program at WestEd, is one of the country's leading experts in understanding data-driven decision making in education settings.
Mandinach has been working in school, district, and state data-driven decision making for the past decade. She brings this expertise to a number of ongoing and new projects at WestEd.
She is engaged in a variety of research and evaluation projects for both the Evaluation Research Program and the Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics program.
Mandinach wrote an award-winning proposal for the Institute of Education Sciences to examine the impact of professional development on data-driven decision making on teacher practice and student performance. She also received funding and completed a project for the Spencer Foundation which resulted in a white paper about what schools of education can do to build educators' capacity to use data.
Diana Nunnaley is a former middle school mathematics teacher, former Director of C4, a technology professional development center for the state of Massachusetts, and a national trainer for the Higher Order Thinking Skills program, Diana has a long and rich history of working with schools to improve opportunities to learn for all students.
Diana was the Implementation Project Leader for a collaborative project involving TERC, CCSSO (Council of Chief State School Officers), and WCER (University of Wisconsin Education Research Center) to study the effects of assisting teachers in using data on enacted curriculum to improve effectiveness of instruction in mathematics and science education. Prior work included Co-NECT Schools, a New American Schools Comprehensive School Improvement Program, where Diana worked with a team to design the professional development content and process for field testing in large urban districts.
Diana has been with the Using Data Project since its inception.
