Early Warning SystemSpokane’s Lessons LearnedMARCH 11, 2014
Background
Mary Beth Celio Research Report First Principal Training – summer of 2012 Principal Input Expansion 2013/2014 school year
Lesson 1 – Data Organization History of Data in Spokane Schools
Large data binders with all levels of data Website with links to visualizations
Overwhelmed by data Leaders need data access at the right level and
focus Prioritizing Data Efficiency Common Language for Collaboration
Lesson 1 – Data Organization (con’t)
Macro to Micro Satellite view: aggregated measure of performance - the “whole”
ex. district weekly attendance rate
Naked eye: school level aggregated measure of performanceex. school weekly attendance rate
Microscope view: nitty-gritty details that make up the wholeex. Johnny’s attendance data
Lesson 2 – Intentionality Behind the DesignFive Undergirding Principles (demo)
1. Data Interpretation (color and trend)
2. Data Triangulation (multiple metrics getting at the same idea)
3. Signaling (tells our users what is important)
4. Integration (easy accessibility from the web)
5. Data Consolidation and Organization (desperate data in one place)
Lesson 3 – Growing leaders through data
It’s not good enough to just identify It’s not good enough to just intervene We have to be proactive and responsive You cannot assume leaders know how to lead with data
