  1. Data Walls: More than just some DATA on the wall Tara Sides Landrum High School Tara.Sides@spart1.org South Carolina Education and Business Summit Presentation June 29,2010

  3. Why a data wall? Tara Sides, June 29,2010

  4. Two Types of Data Walls…….according to Tara • Informational: These walls are usually public and used to chart your major type of data trends….HSAP, EOC, attendance, etc…(High Schools traditionally have this type of wall) • Personal: These are for school personnel only and contain confidential data about students (Elementary and middle schools tend to have this type of wall.) Tara Sides, June 29,2010

  5. The Development Process • Decide your purpose….why are you creating the wall? • Decide your audience…..who do you want to see it? • How do you want it to look? Tara Sides, June 29,2010

  6. The Informational Data Wall • Usually placed in a public place • Highlights things about your school that you are proud or are different • Compares your school data to local, state, and national data when it is accessible • Measures progress overtime • Keep it simple and easy to read Tara Sides, June 29,2010
