Service Description:

This two-day workshop employs McREL's data-driven decision making process—using data to make informed decisions about policies, practices, and procedures—to teach participants how to use data to improve student achievement.

Key Ideas:

Participants learn how to form data leadership teams within their schools to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data. By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Know characteristics and examples of four types of data
• Be familiar with analyzing and interpreting different types of data
• Understand a general process for generating hypotheses and translating them into improvement strategies
