ABSTRACT
In Lancaster ISD, Kyndra Johnson shared the district’s vision and two goals for each campus: the goal for STEM implementation and the goal for higher student achievement. Johnson saw the two goals as working simultaneously in preparing students for their futures. Through data-driven conversations with the campus leaders, Johnson gained an understanding of the unique needs of each campus as they addressed student learning, achievement, and STEM implementation. Using student achievement data was not about playing “got-cha” but was about knowing the kinds of supports each campus needs. The conversations built a strong bond between the district and the campuses.
