Growth Metrics for K-12 Human Capital Management

How do we know if professional learning is paying off? This is a question policy makers and education leaders are asking frequently, especially when engaging in planning for the upcoming year’s calendar or writing or updating school and district improvement plans.

What are the key metrics in K-12 human capital management that district leaders should monitor and benchmark against? After laying a foundation in the new report, we’ve been breaking down the findings in Part 1 (recruiting and hiring) and Part 2 (engagement and learning) of a blog series.

In our 3-part blog series, the Institute is breaking down the latest research report on Growth Metrics for K-12 Human Capital Management. In Part 1, we broke down the key performance indicators for measuring recruiting and hiring.
