Data Into Decisions

Build concrete analytics skills to support your teachers where they need it most.

Most schools analyze percent correct on assessments, standards, and items. But if that’s all you see, that’s all there is. I’m looking for 10 elementary and middle schools ready to level up their analytic skills. This two-session online workshop teaches you how to recognize and analyze deeper data patterns and make more targeted decisions about how to support teachers effectively. You can apply these skills directly to your own data immediately – even during the workshop.

What To Expect

Optional	Primer on diagnostic analytics and interpreting results

Intersession – Your Data, Analyzed

For schools that submit data, Jeff will deliver a private analysis of your school’s assessment results using the quadrant framework – analyzing pass rates and dispersion together to identify which students are at risk and where teacher support is most needed. This second look analysis helps you move from general patterns to concrete coaching decisions.
