What is Data? • Data is a plural of datum, which is originally a Latin noun meaning “something given.” • Today, data is used in English meaning “facts or pieces of information” • We will look at academic data today, but many types of information are collected at schools that can inform planning
Categories of School Data • Academic • Behavioral • Climate • Dissagregate • Equity
Session Goals • Explain how SSC/ELAC members use assessment and other data to inform school planning (BSC) • Analyze key elements of successful data conversations among school community members • Provide a list of data resources and reflect on ways that data conversations can support school improvement efforts
Understanding DataTogether Let’s make meaning of some academic data together • Two Handouts • Includes 4 tables showing data on the English Language Arts CST for one school • Includes reflection and discussion questions • Look at the tables by yourself or with a partner and try to answer the questions. • Then come together as a whole table to discuss these questions.
Group Debrief • How can SSC or ELAC members use data conversations to support BSC planning? • What are the major sources of data available to SSC and ELAC members?
