AllThis one-day learning opportunity will introduce you to an inquiry driven framework for using data to focus important conversations about student learning. The session will offer useful tools and strategies to use both qualitative and quantitative data to help demonstrate that what Moving Forward schools are doing is making a difference in student engagement, student achievement and teacher practice. More so, tools will be shared so you can focus your goals and create the collaborative work necessary to successfully interpret and use data in your schools to ensure learning for all.
The primary material for this session is Dr. Lipton's book, Got Data? Now What?, which will be given to you as part of your registration. Got Data? Now What? explores three defining challenges that school teams face when gathering, interpreting, and utilizing school data. Complete with survey questions for efficient data collection, suggested group work structures, strategies, and tools—along with essential definitions and descriptions of data types—this compelling guide will help you confront data obstacles to turn struggling committees into powerful communities of learners.
