The K-12 Analytics Research Consortium
This project brings together actual K-12 schools, universities, and emerging technology developers to support practical research on the impact of technology--both positive and negative--on teaching, learning, and well-being. Members of The Renaissance Institute become part of the consortium with full access to research, as well as to research scientists to develop their own research program.
Research Questions
1. How can data-intensive modeling support a school district in increasing achievement, well-being and academic performance in the lives of PK-12 learners?
2. What are the associations between student engagement with technology and achievement, attendance, discipline, wellness, and fitness?
3. What are the associations between teacher engagement with technology and their personal growth, achievement, and wellness?
4. Can these associations be used to predict learner drop out, increase academic performance and reduce related challenges?
5. Can these associations be used by school leaders to implement proactive policies and interventions?

Current Projects
1. The Impact of technology on K-12 success. The Institute, in partnership with K-12 schools is investigating the impact of technology on critical factors such as achievement, discipline, and attendance.
2. Implementing Predictive Analytics Models to Predict Success and Failure in K-12. The Institute, in partnership with a leading university and K-12 schools is investigating whether predictive analytics tools can provide real-time, predictive capabilities to school leaders.
3. Texas as a Model of Practice: Creating Connections that inspire Data-Informed Innovative Strategies and personalized Approaches. The Institute, working under a grant from The Military Child Education Coalition is developing the infrastructure and predictive models to provide insight into military connected students.
