This hands-on workshop de-mystifies data collection and the use of data for decision-making in schools and school districts. It provides

  • Explanations of why the use of data is often misdirected and what to do to avoid those situations;
  • Examples of a small set of district measures that address accountability on five dimensions of performance;
  • Examples of data that help to drive improvement at three levels-district, building or program, and classroom;
  • Practice at creating and interpreting typical graphs that inform decision-makers;
  • Application of the ideas presented in the workshop to the real issues facing your educators relative to the use of data in their schools.

WHAT THE WORKSHOP IS NOT
