TRY THIS
Review the following
statement:
We have found that schools committed to using data
to guide their work allocate time for teachers to meet,
discuss, reflect upon data, and make informed instructional
decisions ( NCREL ).
Given the overwhelming schedule that most teachers
have and the budget cuts that districts are facing,
this may not seem like a very realistic scenario. Instead,
many teachers will need to look for opportunities in
their already overcrowded day to think about using data.
Reflect on the issues listed below -- which ones are
most feasible in your situation?
- Think about recommendations you could make to your
principal that might provide time for teachers to
collaborate on the use of data in education.
- Check with your district supervisor to find out
if there are any workshops or seminars being planned
that focus on the use of data.
- Reflect on ways that you could dedicate a portion
of your time to collecting and analyzing data that
would improve student achievement and attitudes.
