Outcomes By the end of this discussion, we will have: Learned and used the ORID process for examining and using data Used SAT data as a means to understand the ORID process

Why use Data Protocols? Examining data and using data should be the norm Having focused data discussions means decisions will be made Everyone needs to be responsible for examining, analyzing, and using data

What is ORID? ORID is one data protocol that can be used in schools It is structured It is focused Decisions are made after examining data

ORID Process Designed by the Institute for Cultural Affairs Objective What do we know about this? Reflective How do we feel about this? Interpretive What does it mean for me/our organization? Decisional What are we going to do? The ORID Process of Strategic Questioning

How do we examine the Data? Multiple lenses can be used Examination must create action Systematic process must be created

ORID: Focused Conversation Data Analysis Level of Questions Purpose Questions to Answer O Objective Level To examine the data To identify factual information What do you see? What factual statements can you make based on the data? R Reflective Level To encourage participants to make connections To encourage free flow of ideas and imagination What surprised you? What encouraged you? What discouraged you? How does this make you feel? I Interpretive Level To identify patterns and determine their significance or meaning To articulate underlying insights What does the data tell us? What new insights do you have? What good news is there for us to celebrate? What doesn’t it tell us and what else might we need to know? What areas of need seem to arise? D Decisional Level To propose next steps To develop an action plan To make decisions To experience “coming together” What are our proposed next steps? What decisions can we make? What is our action plan for moving forward?

Let’s Get Started SAT data sets at your tables SAT data sets start globally (i.e., system results) down to racial/ethnic scores 20 minutes for each section of the ORID

Group Work Each group will have a facilitator (keeps the group focused on the task) Person who has a birthday closest to today’s date is the facilitator (Equitable Selection Practice) Each group will have a recorder who will record and report out group’s work Person who has been in their current (CURRENT) role the shortest period of time is the recorder (Equitable Selection Practice)
