Workshop Summary:

This workshop acknowledges the importance of data in ensuring effective instruction and seeks to provide teachers with an easy-to-understand, practical strategy for using it effectively.

This workshop aims to empower educators with tools to analyze and collect relevant data to highlight areas where students may be struggling and, subsequently, help adapt instruction methods for improved results. Workshop registrants are trained to view and track data in a user-friendly manner. This course aims to make data-driven decisions an integral part of their teaching culture.

By the end of “Data Driven Decisions” training, educators will not only be able to set realistic goals based on the results of data analysis, but also use this analysis to positively influence student outcomes.

You’ll learn how to:

• Determine what data can be collected and how to analyze data
• Use data to improve student outcomes
• Use data analysis to identify strengths & weaknesses and increase school improvement
• Create a plan for data collection

All participants, who already recognize the significance of data in ensuring effective instruction, will gain straightforward and practical approaches to its utilization. Educators will leave with tools for analyzing and collecting pertinent data, pinpointing areas where students may encounter challenges, and subsequently adapting instructional methods for enhanced results. Attendees will be able to design continuous learning opportunities by assessing the current learning status of all students and help reduce the educational achievement difference.
