Paper
Using Geodata for School Reform
Track: Education
Author(s): Bob Coulter

The Center for Inquiry in Science Teaching and Learning (CISTL) is funded by the National Science Foundation to develop innovative collaborations between institutions of higher education, informal science institutions, and local school districts in the St. Louis, Missouri, area. Together, the partners are developing programs intended to build teachers' skills and boost student achievement from early childhood through high school. In this session, you will see how GIS is being used to analyze relevant demographic, economic, and public health data, and how this data is being linked to student achievement data to better inform project partners' efforts and to provide useful information to guide school reform efforts.
