Bernhardt, V.L. (2013) Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement (Third Edition) New York, NY: Routledge
BACKGROUND • Education for the Future – Non-Profit Initiative • Victoria L. Bernhardt, Exec Director • California State University, Chico • Our Mission • Funded by contracts. • 17 Books, Conferences, Institutes, Workshop. • Manage long-term implementation contracts. • Monthly online meeting series.
Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement, Third Edition, ……is about inspiring schools and districts to commit to a continuous school improvement framework that will result in improving teaching for every teacher, and improving learning for every student, in one year, through the comprehensive use of data. It is about providing a new definition of improvement, away from compliance, toward a commitment to excellence. P. 5
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE? It will take one school year for a school staff to do all the work described in this book. If parts of the work are already done, a staff might still want to spread out the work throughout the year. P. 10
WHY Data Analysis/Continuous and School Improvement?
What would it take to ensurestudent learning atevery grade level, in every subject area, and with every student group?
WHAT IS THE HARDEST PARTFROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? • Beliefs that all children can learn. • Schools honestly reviewing their data. • One vision. • One plan to implement the vision. • Curriculum, instructional strategies, and assessments clear and aligned to standards. • Staff collaboration and use of data related to standards implementation. • Staff professional development to work differently. • Rethinking current structures to avoid add-ons.
THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT DATA USE • For data to be used to impact classroom instruction, there must be structures in place, to— • implement a shared schoolwide vision. • help staff review data and discuss improving processes. • have regular, honest collaborationsthat cause learning.
