Data Tracking & Usability NH RESPONDS Brent Garrett & Pat Mueller, Evaluators Amy Jenks, Project Coordinator
Agenda • Evolution of data tracking (Why?) • Data collection instrumentation (Who? What? How?) • Increasing usability (Tracking Systems) • Local site examples (So What?) • Lessons Learned (If we had it to do over again…)
Evolution of Data Tracking • SPDG reporting requires process and outcome data • Selection/Development of Assessments/Tools • Frequency and efficiency of data collection • Tracking and reporting • Sharing and using data for improvement at school/district/state-grant levels • Sustainability
Evaluation Workgroup • To serve in an advisory capacity to project evaluators. • Evolved in role over time.
Data Collection Instruments • Assessment/Tools (hand out) • Who collects it • How is it collected • What is collected
How do your projects determine types/frequency of data to be collected and reported?
Increasing Usability • NH RESPONDS School Summary of RTI Implementation Sheet (hand out) • Assist evaluators, professional development providers, and school/district teams. • The more this was used, the better the collection, sharing, and analyses of data.
Local Site Examples • Review a completed NH RESPONDS School Summary of RTI Implementation Form • NH RESPONDS staff Level: • Data collection and reporting • Used for improving training & TA; focus on sustainability • Use at district Level: • Reviewed progress to date • Discussed fluctuations in data – what do they mean? • Clearly identified next areas of focus • Renewal of commitment & resources for stabilization/sustainability • Use at school level: • One page view of data useful • Data needs further discussion and unpacking • Consistency of features of model across content areas and tiers • Fueled discussions about patterns in data; deepened knowledge of Tiers
How has data been used with your leadership teams and/or school teams?
Lessons Learned • What did we do well? • Team process (Evaluation Workgroup) for tool review and development. • Development of School Summary of RTI Implementation Sheet looking across content areas. • Ongoing review of data. • What would we do differently? • Think about the number of instruments being used – streamlining. • The number of people (and staff turnover) involved with data collection – ensuring consistency in data collected (version control, formats, etc.). • Accessible repository earlier on for project tools and data.
What lessons have you learned in your project related to data tracking and usability?
