ECRA offers school districts unique solutions to support their evolving data and research needs. While many vendors focus on data warehousing software, ECRA bundles data warehousing technology, online portal and information services, statistical expertise, and content area specialists into a robust solution referred to as the ECRA Collaborative Research and Information Service Solution (ECRISS). ECRISS is built upon ECRA’s value-added growth model, a scientific and best practices approach toward monitoring progress toward individual student growth targets, linking student performance to teacher evaluations, documenting the impact and return on investment for programs, and supporting leadership and board governance.
