Data Transparency & Accountability

Waiting until a high-impact tutoring program is over to assess progress is a missed opportunity. Accurate data is key to ensuring that interventions are effective and provides the ability to make timely adjustments when necessary. With Littera Insights, districts can take a deeper dive into the data, customizing reports and automating data distribution.
