The Office of Research and Accountability takes the lead responsibility for conducting an on-going program of assessment, research and evaluation that generates data and actionable information for decision-makers.  We believe that providing actionable information to our stakeholders, derived from high quality data, will lead to data-informed decisions and ultimately improved learning conditions and outcomes for our students.

 Our priorities:

• Enhance infrastructure and systems to produce high quality data that informs decisions 

• Generate and disseminate data and actionable information to key stakeholders

• Build capacity and culture for greater understanding of data and use of data cycles
