ZOOM! Data Source
ZOOM! Data Source is the student achievement data program designed by charters for charters, provided through the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA). ZOOM! helps charter schools build strong cultures of data-driven decision-making that lead to higher student achievement.
Compiling student achievement data into one place—including state tests, benchmarks, formatives, teacher-created assessments and more—ZOOM! Data Source empowers teachers to make more targeted instructional decisions and enhance student progress.
ZOOM! replaces the time-consuming, manual process of tracking student progress with Excel, pencil, and paper—and will save your school time and money.
Through ZOOM! Data Source, schools gain affordable access to the online data management tool DataDirectorTM, customized technical and implementation support, and comprehensive in-person and web-based professional development.
