1. Data Use in Practice Sometimes data is just for show. But other times, we can’t move forward without it!

2. Do Now Think about the school where you work. Describe an example where data from more than one source was used to make an important decision.

3. Agenda Do now and introductions Micro-lab Data use at JSEC Triangulation and Effort/Impact Closing

4. Objectives Participants will be able to… Articulate aspects of a sustainable school- wide data use plan that meets the needs of adults and students. Describe changes that could optimize existing school-wide data usage.

5. Microlab Move into small groups (4 teachers is ideal) A question is projected on the wall and a timer is set for 5 minutes. Group members respond to the question one at a time. The text may be used as a reference but this is not necessary. Other group members do not comment on the response until everyone has answered. With the time that is remaining, group members may engage in open discussion until time is up. Repeat the process for the next question (there are three total)

6. The article lists “strong leadership” as a key support for data use at the building level. What are some examples of “strong leadership” in your building (or in a hypothetical building where you were a leader)?

7. “Hypotheses” are often mentioned in professional literature about school data use. Who should make them? What could they be based on? What should happen after a hypothesis is posed?

8. Your school just received the results from a standardized test (PARCC, STAR, PSAT, etc…). What should happen next?

9. Microlab wrap-up: Most schools and districts have a wide variety of data available. What are some of the strategies that can help our schools make meaning out of numbers? How do we prevent ourselves from being a "data rich, analysis poor" school?

45. Mr. S. and Mr. M. just scored a persuasive essay writing assignment they gave to their classes. They examine the results and quickly notice a pattern of need: Pattern of Need: On the 4 point rubric, 40 out of 62 students scored below a 3 on the row that focused on writing an effective thesis/focus statement. Root Cause: Students do not understand how to write an effective thesis/focus statement and are not able to describe how this statement connects to the rest of the paper.
