This document discusses how data-driven decisions can help educators be "edu-superheroes" by giving them tools to achieve their educational goals and better support student learning. It promotes the use of Discovery Education Assessment, which can align to standards, predict test performance, inform instruction, support differentiation, and assist with response to intervention. The assessment provides formative feedback through student reports, class summaries, and interactive objective reports to help teachers tailor their lessons and students to improve their learning tactics.
