USING DATA TOINFORM
DECISION-MAKINGSue Reynolds
Executive DirectorIndiana Student Achievement Institute
What separates successful schools from those that will not be
successful in their reform efforts is the use of one, often neglected, essential element . . .
DATA.Submitted byThurston Elementary2000 InSAI Cohort
We’d never dream of coaching basketball without player stats, or
playing a game without keeping score. Stats tell us if our efforts are having the
desired impact.
SO, WHY DO WE TEACH WITHOUT
STATS?

SCHOOL DATA
Evaluates the School
a. ISTEP – PL221 (126 days)
b. ISTEP – NCLB (162 days)
c. Diplomas Awarded
d. Graduation Rate
What should we measure?
CLASSROOM DATA
Informs instruction in the classroom
a. Frequent classroom assessment (aligned with standards)
b. Core 40 End-of-Course Tests
c. Standards Assessment on ISTEP
What should we measure?
GOAL SETTING
Better than
other schools
in our county?
Better than other schools like our school?
Same % of
free / reduced,
special education,
mobile, etc.
students.
Better than the State Average?
72.6%
of all ISTEP tests
in the state
are passing.

To Meet Safe Harbor (NCLB)
Will not place school in improvement
Applies if a student group:
1. Does not meet AYP
2. % of non-proficient students is reduced by 10% from the previous year
3. Demonstrates improvement in the other indicator (or maintains performance at or above goal) American Student
Achievement Institute
To meet local steps on the way to our vision:
100% over the bar
Analysis Questions
1. How does our data compare to our vision data?
2. What data fields reflect achievement gaps
3. What data fields please us?
4. What data fields disturbs us?

DATA ANALYSIS
KEY ELEMENTS OF HIGH ACHIEVING SCHOOLS
Data should help us understand what is getting in the way of learning:
1. Expectations• Curriculum• Instruction• Assessment• Extra Help• Guidance7. Environment
What should we measure?
PRACTICE ACTIVITY
p. XX-XX
DATA ANALYSIS
STRATEGY DATA - PRIMARY
Are the adults doing something differently?a. Who are we trying to change?b. What behavior or attitude do we want to see?c. What will we count to see if the change occurred?
EXAMPLE: Project Based Learning
a. All Teachers b. Incorporate projects into their instruction c. % of teachers observed facilitating projects during “Principal Walk-Throughs”
What should we measure?
STRATEGY DATA - SECONDARY
Are the students doing something differently?a. Who are we trying to change?b. What behavior or attitude do we want to see?c. What will we count to see if the change occurred?
EXAMPLE: Project Based Learning
a. Students b. Apply classroom content to real-world problem
solving c. % of students who submit a project in which
theyhave used classroom content to solve a real-world
problem
