  12. Getting the Most from Data

  13. Focus Purpose • Have a timeline. • Be clear about what you hope to accomplish. • Indicate how much improvement is sought over the current situation. Related outputs, inputs and processes • Items that impact your goal. Questions to be answered • Multiple types of data.

  14. Gathering Data • Find existing data. • Develop new data sources.

  15. Analyze Data Break it down (disaggregate) • Subtests, grade levels, demographics • Compare with similar group or nom group • Compare against a standard Triangulate • Multiple measures • Multiple sources • Multiple levels (across measures and time) Challenge assumptions Look at existing research and theory

  16. Display Data • Bar/column charts • Frequency distribution • Line graph • Pie chart • Table • Scatterplot • Pareto chart

  17. Monitor Over Time • Is the plan being followed? • What are the results? • What next?

  18. Leadership Roles Leaders influence school culture through the design and operation of structures that are aligned with core beliefs. These structures are: concrete observable (can be documented and described) supported by artifacts (tangible evidence of the operation of structures) 18

  19. REMEMBER … All schools want to improve but few want to change. The fact remains that to improve, one MUST CHANGE. For HSTW to impact student achievement and completion rates, schools must make changes in school and classroom practices. 19
