Do you believe…

In the importance of data in your classroom?

In your grade level?

In our school?

Do you believe…

“The Goal of Assessment has to be, above all, to support the improvement of learning and teaching”

Fredrickson & Collins, 1989

I believe…

We should be “Knowledge-Driven”, not “Data Driven”

That data should be used to improve instruction

In the strength of professional learning communities

In regular, normative data analysis practices

“What do the students know? What do they not know? What are we doing about it? What do we do if they already know it?”

“The Essentials” 1) Multiple Measures2) School-wide goals3) Cyclic data analysis

“When asked what they would want for their own children, most educators

inevitably say they expect the highest levels of education.

Do other people’s children deserve any less?”

Johnson, 2002, p. 320
