Data can…provide feedback on the past andprovide a basis to begin planningfor the future

What Kind of Information can Data Provide us?

Department of Mathematics and Science

IMPORTANCE OF DATA

• Facilitate a clear understanding of the gaps between where the school or class is and where it wants to be.

• Show if school or class goals and objectives are being accomplished.

• Predict and prevent failures.• Predict and ensure successes.• Establish foundation for Continuous School

Improvement/SIP.• Data drives instruction, and professional

development.
