Expanding the Data Conversation for Districts and Schools

Friday February 24, 2017
9:30 - 10:30 AM
Room 102

"Expanding the Data Conversation for Districts and School" helps school and district leaders identify practices that broaden the data conversation beyond student achievement metrics to paint a balanced and comprehensive picture of school improvement. Educators will examine the tenets and characteristics of successful analysis of non-student outcomes data and review examples and anecdotes of how school leaders have used data from the 5Essentials, a diagnostic survey of school culture and organization, in practice. Additionally, participants will engage in a discussion of key adult mindset challenges that often inhibit effective analysis of school improvement data.
