Data Driven Decision Making

Data Driven Decision Making “We can not assume that our schools

will naturally drift toward using technology effectively. We must commit ourselves to staying the course and making the changes necessary to reach our goals of educating every child. These are ambitious goals, but they are goals worthy of a great nation such as ours. Together, we can use technology to ensure that no child is left behind.” George W. Bush

"Information is the key to holding schools accountable for improved performance every year among every student group. Data is our best management tool. I often say that what gets measured, gets done. If we know the contours of the problem, and who is affected, we can put forward a solution. Teachers can adjust lesson plans. Administrators can evaluate curricula. Data can inform decision-making. Thanks to No Child Left Behind, we're no longer flying blind.” Margaret Spellings, U. S. Secretary of

Education

Some Technology tools to help with administrative responsibilities

PDA Software

“I can see dates and infractions tied to behavior problems. I can see if the child is a special-needs student. I can tell if the child is having problems with a particular staff member or in a particular area of the school -- for example, the hallway, restroom, classroom, or cafeteria. I can tell if the child has no behavioral reports. If the student transferred within our district, all information from the previous school is reported in this system. I can even tell if the child came from a school outside of the district…” Assistant Principal
