'''Data-informed decision-making (DIDM)''' refers to the collection and analysis of data to guide decisions that improve success.<ref>U.S. Department of Education Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development (2009). ''Implementing data-informed decision making in schools: Teacher access, supports and use.'' United States Department of Education (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED504191)</ref> DIDM is used daily in education communities (where data is used with the goal of helping students) but is also applicable to (and thus also used in) other fields in which data is used to inform decisions. While '''data-driven decision-making''' is a more common term, ''data-informed decision-making'' is a preferable term since decisions should not be based solely on quantitative data.<ref>Knapp, M.
