Data
What’s the 1 most impactful talent data metric you wish you had to influence others?
Why?

13. Questions Your Data Should Answer
Key Metrics Needed to Tell Your State’s Story
“The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers.
The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.” – Peter Drucker
QUANTITY
Do we have enough teachers to meet our state’s needs - now and in the future?
QUALITY
Do we have quality/effective teachers to meet our state’s needs?
EQUITY
Is there equity between our high- and lower-needs schools?
Danielle – Questions Your Data Should Answer
Seeks to answer 4 key questions.
As leadership and priorities change, these buckets represent the enduring purpose of state HC work.
DISTRICT HC CAPACITY
Are we effectively supporting our districts to strategically manage talent?

14. Metrics to Collect & Share: Key Area 1
Diagnostic Reference
Answers Questions of:
Power Metrics
1.A
Quantity
Number of graduates by teacher preparation provider and by teachers coming from out-of-state, by subject and grade level and compared to vacancies throughout the state
1.B
Quality
1. Percentage of districts satisfied with teaching candidates produced through state Preparation Providers; 2. Performance level of new teachers analyzed by program and subject
1.C
Quality & Equity
Statewide annual district average turnover and retention data including district data, level of performance, and comparative information
1.D
Equity
Statewide annual average teacher attendance data
1.E
Experience and Performance level of all teachers analyzed by high/low needs schools and school districts
1.F
Equity & Capacity
Percentage of districts satisfied with differentiated State supports for HC work
There are some assumptions we make with these power metrics.
Can identify effective teachers
Can identify high-needs schools & critical shortage subjects
Track satisfaction of key customers – at the district
Putting these foundations in place is hard but necessary to understand how you are supporting schools in your district.
These may evolve over time.

15. “All Eyes in the State” on these Metrics
Stakeholders: Districts, TPPs, Unions, etc.
State Leaders
Regional Teams
HR/HC Leadership
Power Metrics
Danielle
To build support for your work, share the data from the power metrics with others. The more others understand where you are, the more likely they will be to support and sustain your work. Everyone has a hand in helping to move these metrics.
Not just for you. All eyes.
The more others know and understand, the more likely they are to support this work.
