WHY?
“Professional communities share common goals and view each other as a resource for exploring practice and improving learning, using data to inform their conversations and decisions”.

Identified Barriers● School staff-preparation for
decision making
● Technical skill of school staff
● District Leadership support for data-informed decision making
● Sharing data across departments within a district
● Policies that provide direct access to data system
Major Barrier
● Time for data-informed decision making activities
What might it look like if these
barriers were not an issue?
Adapted from The Adaptive School (Garmston & Wellman) and Got Data? Now What? (Wellman & Lipton)
HOW
Three Basic Ways of Framing an Issue
1. Constructing a Problem Statement
2. Craft an Inquiry
3. Create a Hypothesis
Adapted from The Adaptive School (Garmston & Wellman) and Got Data? Now What? (Wellman & Lipton)
Brief Background: Middle School (Grades 6-8) with a total population of 385 students. The school is very diverse in regards to both race and socioeconomic status. There are a high number of migrant students as well as students who receive English Language Services. There is an abnormally high level of teacher turnover each year.
Crafting an Inquiry:
What might be some root causes impacting reading scores?
Adapted from The Adaptive School (Garmston & Wellman) and Got Data? Now What? (Wellman & Lipton)
Data Sources: ● Attendance
● Reading Benchmark (Disaggregated)
● Classroom Walkthroughs
● Standards-Based
Focus Inquiry: What might be root causes impacting reading scores?
Activating and Engaging
Purpose: Sets the scene for exploring the data.

PREDICTIONS
● Based on what you know, what do you predict the average attendance was per month? ________%
● What might you predict the percentage of chronic absenteeism to be each month? _______%
What assumptions might be influencing these predictions?
What values or beliefs might be influencing these predictions?
Adapted from The Adaptive School (Garmston & Wellman) and Got Data? Now What? (Wellman & Lipton)
How does this data compare
with your initial predictions?

Explore & Discover
Purpose: To Learn and Create a Common Understanding of the Information
● What seems to be surprising or unexpected? ● What important points seem to pop out?● What might be some patterns or trends?

Organizing and Integrating: Generating Theory
Purpose: Moving from analyzing to understanding the data.
Inquiry Focus: ● What might have caused these outcomes?

Organizing and Integrating: Generating Theory
Action:
“Effective plans include clear outcomes, measurable criteria for success, the necessary action steps, and data-driven
monitoring system for determining short - and long-term goal achievement”.
