Short answer: Through an open data standard. The DATAS (Data Alignment and Tutoring Assessment Standards) initiative provides a technical standard and toolkit for tutoring data interoperability, addressing the fact that despite $1.4 billion in ESSER spending on high-dosage tutoring, there is insufficient standardized data to evaluate success.
Key findings
- Presented at HCI International 2025 (published in LNCS vol. 15813)
- Proposes a collaborative open standard for how tutoring implementation data is measured and shared across schools, districts, providers, and platforms
- Includes dashboard, model regulations, and template Data Sharing Agreements
- Steering committee includes representatives from Accelerate, University of Chicago Education Lab, state education departments, and tutoring platforms
