Abstract

Non-academic factors such as school climate, grit, and growth mindset are receiving much attention in recent education policy and practice. Within this context, this study (N = 425) describes the distribution of U.S. in-service teachers’ access to and use of 10 categories of non-academic data. Findings indicate that in-service teachers vary widely in their access to, and use of, these types of data. This study also indicates unambiguously that teachers prioritise use of classroom-based academic assessment data.
