IRIS is a performance management and decision-support system that contains data on students, staff, professional development, and financials. The goal is to better answer questions about what works, for whom, and under what circumstances. Formative evaluations will review the effectiveness of school improvement planning processes and professional development; identify challenges and successes of implementing strategies; and review data quality procedures for improvement. Summative evaluations will assess the implementation and its effects on on MPS planning and budgeting.</p> <p> </td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="4" colspan="5" valign="top"><img src="../../../images/gridBkrnd.gif" width="1" height="1"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr > <td id="footerarea" height="49" colspan="5" class="footer"> <center><table><tr> <td valign=top><a href="http://www.wisc.edu"><img border=0 hspace="8" src="../../../images/uwlogo.gif" alt="UW Logo"></a> </td> <td valign=top><center> <a href="../../../index.php">HOME</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../publications/index.php">PUBLICATIONS</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../people/index.php">PEOPLE</a><img src="../../../images/bullet.gif" width="10" height="5"><a href="../../../contact/index.php">CONTACT</a><br>WCER is housed within the<a href="http://www.education.wisc.edu/" target="_blank"> School of Education</a> at the <a href="http://www.wisc.edu" target="_blank">University of Wisconsin-Madison</a><br> Copyright ©2007 The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System<br> </center> </td> </tr></table></center> </td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </div></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> </p>
