5. Data is Powerful  Assess the current and future needs of students  Decide what to change  Determine if goals are being met  Engage in continuous school improvement  Identify root causes of problems  Promote accountability

6. Barriers  Lack of training in data use  No uniform data collection  Lack of leadership at the school and district level  Outdated technology  Unclear priorities  Distrust of data use

7. Types of Data  Curriculum  Demographics  Student Learning  School Processes  Perceptions of Quality

10. Suggestions for Using Data  Be Careful What you Count  Look At Distribution Rather than Averages  Disaggregate  Look at Trends  Collect Data to Answer Questions  Make Data Understandable  Analyze Deeper

12. Student Achievement  Training - group processes, software, definitions  Disaggregate  Do item analysis  Ask Questions  Dig for Root Causes (Don’t accept excuses)  Use multiple sources

13.  Evaluate lesson plans/curriculum for standards alignment  Revise plans/curriculum to ensure standards alignment  Identify at-risk students  Develop academic intervention plan

14.  Recognize need for professional development to support standards and strengthen instructional strategies  Identify students meeting or exceeding standards
