EDL 6006 - Developing a Culture of Data Driven School Improvement

A culture of data use can only develop if an understanding of and capacity for data are in place. A strong data culture results when an organization believes in continuous improvement and regularly puts that belief into practice. Schools and districts that have a strong data culture emphasize collaboration as a keystone for success and they empower teachers and administrators to make decisions for which they are held accountable. This course builds expertise in employing data for a variety of school-improvement purposes, including instructional decision-making in grades K-12. The focus of this course is to ensure that both school and district leaders develop a shared vision for data use and the inquiry process. The course explores the building of data teams at each level and the knowledge and skills needed to keep them productive. This course can be taken in either the first or last semester of the program.
