Demographic Data

• It is important to gather current demographic
  data to know who we are serving.
• It is then important to determine if professional
  development needs are related to this data.

Student Learning Data

• This layout tells the story of the school.
• If you want your story to change, you have to
  know what it is.

School Process Data

• Improvement is not achieved by focusing on
  results, but by focusing on improving the systems
  that create the results.
• These may indicated needed professional
  development.

11
Perceptual Data

• Perceptions are important because they can tell
  us what motivates people our students, staff,
  and community.
• They can also tell us about satisfaction with
  professional development.
