Discussion and Supporting Materials

Thought starters

  1. How does the schoolwide leadership team support teachers' use of data?
  2. How could you use data carousels as a strategy for using data to improve instruction?
  3. How did the staff take an interdisciplinary approach to address the learning need exposed by the data carousel?

At the heart of education is collaboration and this was an incredible video showing a staff coming together for the greater good of ALL students! Oftentimes in education, we see the data, but how do we use the data to effectively show student growth? I love that the leadership team presented school-wide data and gave the staff an opportunity to write a narrative on the noticings, trends, and wonderings. What an eye-opening way to see how our students are performing throughout their school day in specific areas! When the staff realized statistics is something that can be taught across multiple disciplines, they were given the opportunity and time to dig deeper into the data, notice the common trend, and come up with an actionable solution. Data Carousels can be used after unit assessments, formative assessments, etc. to monitor the proficiency of learning targets and determine best practices and differentiation moving forward.

The Date Carousel showed the effective ways to improve in all areas of learning.  It incorporated each method as a whole.  The results were good.  It showed improvement and  other ways to continue on this road for students testings.

Data collection is so very important and this method of help from the entire team was impressive watching the Math coach come into the class and express to the student how on task they are, was inspirirational

Data carousel is a great tool to use to improve instruction and test scores. It also allow students to analyze test scores and learn their strength and weaknesses. They get to see how they perform academically as a school as well as individually.
