Support Data-Driven Decision Making Among Teams
Most likely, data-driven decision making is already part of magnet teachers’ practice. However, it helps to remind teams that a need for change doesn’t necessarily mean that something is wrong. Changes in the data may reflect shifts in circumstances.
Help your teachers access and/or collect both qualitative and quantitative data so they can apply an evidence-based approach to understanding progress and identifying areas for improvement. The Reflect, Refine, and Renew: Mapping Supports New Learning (.doc) tool reinforces best practice, as teams use data from their classrooms, school, and district to identify changes they want to make.
