DATA-DRIVEN IMPROVEMENT METRICS

To understand if our strategies are happening, working, and moving the needle for students, we need to monitor different metrics at every step.

Strategy Bank

Creating action plans is a critical step in using data to drive outcomes. However, teams reviewing data typically have very little time to create strong action plans at the end of data meetings. At the same time, many schools use similar strategies to combat the deep-seated problems we face in education. A strategy bank is a brief overview of many strategies you can use for easy reference. It is an effort to think through common strategies BEFORE the meeting so that when it comes time to action plan, leaders can focus on what matters most – making their strategies work in their own context, with their team. It is not a handbook for any one strategy nor a complete list of strategies.
