A second priority is data-driven decision making. Data-driven decision making can include many different things some of which can be analyzing student performance to show learning gaps, inform instruction, and can hold schools accountable for how they're teaching and how their students are learning.

The last priority is promoting modern skills with technology. This ties into the first priority because school technology was falling behind and needed to be upgraded desperately. Once the technology gets upgraded so do the skills these students graduate with. They gain more modern skills when the technology becomes more modern.
