The teachers’ goal was to devise recommendations based on teachers’ own
experience for what measures districts should consider when evaluating teachers,
and how heavily each of those measures should be weighted.

Having used the Data Wise process in my district, I agree that taking time to prepare for the process is important. As Stephen Covey has said, "begin with the end in mind." Districts should first start by defining the purpose of their data analysis. Is it focus on student achievement, teacher/principal evaluation, program evaluation, etc.? From there schools can create a process that allows them to utilize the tremendous amount of data available in meaningful and effective ways.

a hybrid teacher role as Data Strategist. I was charged with the task of organizing the various data points that, taken collectively, offer useful clues about student achievement, progress, and deficiency. The data lens could zoom out to a schoolwide perspective that might inform staff development planning, narrow to a classroom or grade-level view offering insight on skills requiring remediation, or focus on a single student being considered for referral to the school psychologist for a learning disability.

There is growing evidence that teacher empowerment as school leaders is linked strongly with teachers' tendency to engage in behaviors that accelerate student growth: soliciting parent involvement, communicating positive expectations, and being willing and able to innovate in the classroom.
-
In addition to measurable student impact, teachers that lead schools are better equipped to guide their own professional development, share their expertise, and develop explicit and implicit systems of accountability, while experiencing more respectful, trusting, and professional cultures.
