Districts use new methods to learn what works best for kids
No longer is it viewed as acceptable for teachers to deliver lectures, administer grades and expect their students to simply try harder. Teachers are increasingly being asked to use assessments and collect data on student learning to gauge whether their methods are succeeding and what more needs to be done.

What is Data-Driven Decision-Making (DDDM) and what should be considered before selecting and implementing Electronic Learning Assessment Resources (ELAR)? The following questions should be understood and/or addressed prior to making the time and funding investment to use an ELAR in your school or district.

The title of this presentation at the Washington DC Emetrics summit was: Creating a Data Driven Web Decision Making Culture - Lessons, Tips, Insights from a Practitioner. Although meant for corporations, the advice applies just as well to academic institutions. The goal here was to share tips and insights that might help companies move from just having lots and lots of data to creating cultures where decisions are made not on gut-feel, or the proverbial seat of the pants, but rather based on data.

The 118 page report, "Framework for a Comprehensive Education Data System in California - Unlocking the Power of Data to Continually Improve Public Education," recommends significantly expanding and linking information from California's K-12 system to data from pre-K, higher education, workforce, and social services data systems to inform decisions that extend beyond K-12.

Using Data to Improve Schools: What's Working is an easy-to-read guide to using data to drive school improvement. School system leaders and their staffs can learn from this book how to build a districtwide culture of inquiry that values the use of data for sound decision-making. School board members, parents and community members interested in helping improve schools will find tools for their work as well in this guide. It describes the challenges and the successes of educators from districts both large and small committed to using data.

Students from families with little formal education often learn rules about how to speak, behave, and acquire knowledge that conflict with how learning happens in school. They also often come to school with less background knowledge and fewer family supports. Formal schooling, therefore, may present challenges to students living in poverty. Teachers need to recognize these challenges and help students overcome them. In my work consulting with schools that serve a large population of students living in poverty, I have found nine interventions particularly helpful in raising achievement for low-income students.

Continuous Improvement: It takes more than test scores. Analyzing state assessment results is only the beginning of effective data-driven decision making. There is no question that the passage of No Child Left behind in 2001 has impacted schools in at least two ways: First and foremost, NCLb has made the use of data to improve student achievement imperative; and second, NCLb has increased the need for continuous improvement processes within schools. Summative data just the beginning
