Data and More Data
"What kinds of data are important for continuous school improvement, and how can educators’ best organize the data for easy access and analysis?" - Berhardt
Demographic, Student Learning, Perceptions, School Processes.
By looking separately at each of the four categories of data, you can answer such questions as:
- How many students are enrolled in your school this year? (Demographic)
- How did students at your school score on the state test? (Student Learning)
- What are parent, student, and staff perceptions of the learning environment? (Perceptions)
- What special programs are operating in your school this year? (School Processes)
