Why Do We Put FACES on the Data?

• So… We Know the Students

• So… We Can Plan for Them

• So… We Ensure Everyone Knows They are Responsible for ALL Students

• So… We Assess Progress to Know if Strategies are Working

How do we Put FACES on the Data?

• Data Walls

• PLC-Data Teams

• Build Meaningful Relationships

• Data Analysis (to determine trends, patterns among students, classes, and groups in the school)

Data Dialog Questions for ….Beginning Conversations with Staff

• (Here’s What…) What do the data appear to be telling us? What are the strengths/weaknesses in our subgroups? In grades? Where are our gaps?

• (So What?...) What are possible reasons or explanations for the data?

• (Now What?...) How can we use these findings to define instructional goals to improve our students’ achievement?

S.M.A.R.T. Goals

• Strategic • Measurable• Attainable• Results-Oriented• Time-Bound

Berkeley County Schools will increase the number of students at/above mastery in RLA by 10% as measured by the 2013 WESTEST2.
