Early Warning SystemSpokane’s Lessons Learned March 11, 2014
Background • Mary Beth Celio Research Report • First Principal Training – summer of 2012 • Principal Input • Expansion 2013/2014 school year
Lesson 1 – Data Organization • History of Data in Spokane Schools • Large data binders with all levels of data • Website with links to visualizations • Overwhelmed by data • Leaders need data access at the right level and focus • Prioritizing Data • Efficiency • Common Language for Collaboration
Lesson 1 – Data Organization (con’t) Macro to Micro • Satellite view: aggregated measure of performance - the “whole” ex. district weekly attendance rate • Naked eye: school level aggregated measure of performance ex. school weekly attendance rate • Microscope view: nitty-gritty details that make up the whole ex. Johnny’s attendance data
Lesson 2 – Intentionality Behind the Design Five Undergirding Principles (demo) • Data Interpretation (color and trend) • Data Triangulation (multiple metrics getting at the same idea) • Signaling (tells our users what is important) • Integration (easy accessibility from the web) • Data Consolidation and Organization (desperate data in one place)
Lesson 3 – Growing leaders through data • It’s not good enough to just identify • It’s not good enough to just intervene • We have to be proactive and responsive • You cannot assume leaders know how to lead with data
Lesson 4 – It’s not just about risk • Social Support and Academic Press • Key Performance Indicators across all data aspects • Leaders have to focus on both areas and our system guides them on key indicators
