Minisink Valley Central School District Selected Strategic Planning Data Information abstracted from 2005-06 NYS School Report Card Accountability and Overview Report and Comprehensive Information Reports
Some thoughts about data • Data can provide an historical perspective of what the future may bring. • What’s important gets counted. What’s counted gets tested. What’s tested gets taught. And the cycle continues. • If the test is good, then teaching to the test is ok. • Although the pattern is important, don’t ignore the anomaly. • Behind every number is a student. • “Good (and very good) is (are) the enemy (ies) of great.” Jim Collins
