ABSTRACT
Teachers reading the data and understanding what students need to know when the learning data are organized in a manner that they can quickly comprehend and use. They must lead the way to build the collaborative structures, inspire the vision of effective teaching and data use, and encourage strategies to make it all happen. A school implements the Continuous School Improvement Framework; it has begun an excellent journey of using data effectively to improve teaching and learning. Teachers need support in getting real-time formative data to review in a timely fashion. Districts and schools must support teachers in adopting formative assessments for every subject area that assess standards attainment. They recommend creating a Data Leadership Team to take on the task of assessing the reliability of the data and in getting appropriate data in the hands of teachers in a timely fashion so teachers can spend their time analyzing and discussing the results in their teams, and implementing new strategies.
