  1. Data Informed Decision Making Dr. Robert Rodosky Dr. Marco Muñoz Jefferson County Public Schools (Kentucky) Presented at the National Evaluation Institute October 4-6, 2007

  2. Presentation Overview • Wallace Foundation • Leadership Interest Groups (LIG) • Data-Driven Decision Making • Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, and Ohio • In the fall of 2006, all principals in Kentucky were surveyed regarding data access to support their roles as instructional leaders.

  3. Legislative Pressures • Demands of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation—meeting AYPs. • Demands of KERA—meeting goals. • Assessment and accountability that require knowledge and skills in measurement and data use for school improvement. • Principals must use data in order to inform their decision-making as instructional leaders. • Understandings of how data analysis can inform instruction and ultimately improve student achievement.

  4. Data Informed Decision Making

  5. Survey Development: Helping Principals Make Data Actionable

  6. Data Collection System

  7. Survey Domains • Introductory Section: Demographic • Section 1: • Student demographic data • Student achievement data • Teacher and program data • Climate/perception data • Financial resource data • Section 2: Principal preparation and use • Section 3: Importance and support • Section 4: Data access and quality

  8. Important Data for Principals

  9. Difficult Questions that Principals Face after Data Analysis

  10. Support for Data-Informed Decisions

  11. District and State Supportwhen Using Data Note: Georgia did not include a question on district support. Kentucky asked “I receive adequate support from the district.” and “I receive adequate support from the state.”

  12. I have the assistance I need to use data effectively

  13. I would like more support in understanding what to do with teacher effectiveness and program data

  14. What are the steps in a continuous improvement process that Principals use most frequently? Note: Number in parentheses are the percent of respondents who stated that they used this step very frequently or frequently during the school year.

  15. How prepared were first-year Principals to use these steps in the Continuous Improvement Process?

  16. What Are The Most Common Constraints That Principals Face In Using Data Note: Number in parentheses are the percent of respondents who somewhat disagreed or disagreed with the statements.

  17. The data I need are available in a timely fashion

  18. My Preparation/Certification Program prepared me to deal effectively with data

  19. I can communicate data effectively in Political, Professional, and Community Settings
