Data Use and Purpose Download the document Work as a team to complete Large group processing

Situation Appraisal Participate Organize data Analyze data How would you use the data?

Data Analysis Questions What process do we have in place to use data

in the areas of curriculum, instruction, and assessment? How does this align with the general curriculum process in the district?

What types of data do we regularly collect? Are there other things we need to collect?

What processes and techniques do we have to organize and analyze our data? What do we need?

What data do we want/need to disaggregate? How are we using data to determine areas of

maintenance, improvement and focus? How effectively are we using data to make

decisions?

Let your direction determine your decisions.

Team Time/Home Play Develop a program evaluation plan. Include formative and summative

components Use the template on p. 203-4 to help

you develop the framework Exact format is up to you, but make it

flexible enough that the evaluation question(s), data collection instruments and methods, and communication of results could change from year to year within the same framework.

learning this year in Academy 3.– How does your evaluation plan align
