Data Wise - Getting Ready | More than just knowing stuff! - 2 views

  •  
    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.

  • 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.

  • Title 1 funding that traditionally would have paid for an additional literacy specialist was allocated for the data strategist position.
  • The possibilities are endless when an individual's interests and skills are considered within the context of a school's needs. Such roles might also include community liaisons responsible for connecting families with various social services while plugging students into local job, volunteering, or community service opportunities. A keen interest in 21st-century skills might develop into a role that guides students to collaborate with others, synthesize information, and create something unique and useful for their peers.
  • The most prevalent barrier to hybrid teaching roles is the district-mandated staffing plan that leaves buildings with little opportunity to determine how personnel are allocated.
