Over the past 5 years, I have trained administrators at the district and school level to understand and use student performance data (assessment and test scores) to improve district and school performance. What i have experienced is that the information I provide to the administrators RARELY trickles down to the school lead teachers and the classroom teachers.
Also, I have had conversations with these administrators about what professional development the district provides on the topic of data use for teachers. Unfortunately, there is very little school districts do to help teachers understand and use data and assessment strategies to improve student learning and performance.
This blog is dedicated to the mission of informing teachers directly about how to understand and use data to make a significant positive impact on student learning.
