Whos Your Data?

• Data for decision making and planning

2
Whos Your Data?

• Data analysis should not be about gathering data
  just because it is there. It would very easy to
  get analysis paralysis by spending more time
  pulling data together and not spending time using
  data.
• V. Bernhardt, 1998

The central goal of data-driven dialogue is
improved student learning.

• That we talk in our schools is vitally important
  in these changing times. How we talk may be as
  important. Shared understanding emerges from
  rigorous dialogue about important things. Such
  dialogue is driven by high-quality data derived
  from internal and external sources. The data in
  and of itself has not meaning and leads to no
  action. Meaning and action results from
  collective processes and shared commitment to
  improving student learning.
• Costa,A., Lipton, L. Wellman,B. (1996)
