Data Analysis
for Continuous
School
Improvement
(Third Edition)
New York, NY: Routledge
BACKGROUND
• Education for the Future – Non-Profit Initiative
• Victoria L. Bernhardt, Exec Director
• California State University, Chico
• Our Mission
• Funded by contracts.
• 17 Books, Conferences, Institutes, Workshop.
• Manage long-term implementation contracts.
• Monthly online meeting series.
Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement,
Third Edition, ……is about inspiring schools and
districts to commit to a continuous school
improvement framework that will result in
improving teaching for every teacher, and
improving learning for every student, in one
year, through the comprehensive use of data. It
is about providing a new definition of improvement,
away from compliance, toward a commitment to
excellence.
P. 5
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?
It will take one school year
for a school staff to do all
the work described in this
book. If parts of the work are
already done, a staff might
still want to spread out the
work throughout the year.
P. 10
What would it take to ensure
student learning at
every grade level, in every subject area, and
with every student group?
WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART
FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?
Beliefs that all children can learn.
Schools honestly reviewing their data.
One vision.
One plan to implement the vision.
Curriculum, instructional strategies, and
assessments clear and aligned to standards.
Staff collaboration and use of data related to standards
implementation.
Staff professional development to work differently.
Rethinking current structures to avoid add-ons.
THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT DATA USE
For data to be used to impact classroom
instruction, there must be structures in
place, to—
implement a shared schoolwide vision.
help staff review data and discuss
improving processes.
have regular, honest collaborations
that cause learning.
VISION defines the desired or
intended future state of an
organization or enterprise in terms
of its fundamental objectives
relative to key, core areas
(curriculum, inst, assess, environ).
VISION
• Curriculum—What we teach.
• Instruction—How we teach the curriculum.
• Assessment—How we assess learning.
• Environment—How each person treats everyother person.
MISSION succinctly defines the
fundamental purpose of an
organization or an enterprise,
describing why they exist.
“In times of change, learners
inherit the earth, while the learned
find themselves beautifully
equipped to deal with a world that
no longer exists.”
- Eric Hoffer

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Continuous School Improvement
describes the work that schools do,
linking the essential elements
• Continuous School Improvement is
a process of evidence, engagement,
and artifacts
A PROCESS OF EVIDENCE, ENGAGEMENT, AND ARTIFACTS
Evidence:
• Data to inform and drive a logical progression of
next steps.
Engagement:
• Bringing staff together to inform improvement
through the use of data, moving from personality
driven to systemic and systematic.
Artifacts:
• The documentation of your improvement efforts.

How did we get to where we are?

Help us understand what
students, staff, and parents are
perceiving about the learning
environment.
We cannot act different from
what we value, believe, perceive.
PERCEPTIONS ARE
IMPORTANT DATA
PERCEPTIONS
What do you suppose students
say is the #1 “thing” that has to
be in place in order for them to
learn?
Know what students are
learning.
Understand what we are
teaching.
Determine which students
need extra help.

What happens when learning
organizations react solely to the
measures used for compliance
and accountability?
STUDENT LEARNING ARE
IMPORTANT DATA
Schools are perfectly designed to
get the results they are getting now.
If schools want different results,
they must measure and then change
their processes to create the
results they really want.
SCHOOL PROCESSES
SCHOOL PROCESSES
Processes include…
Actions, changes, functions that
bring about a desired result
Curriculum, instructional strategies,
assessment, programs, interventions
…
The way we work.
Tell us about the way
we work.
Tell us how we get the
results we are getting.
Help us know if we have
instructional coherence.
SCHOOL PROCESSES ARE
IMPORTANT DATA
SCHOOL PROCESSES DEFINITIONS
INSTRUCTIONAL: The techniques and
strategies that teachers use in the
learning environment.
ORGANIZATIONAL: Those
structures the school puts in place
to implement the vision.
ADMINISTRATIVE: Elements about
schooling that we count, such as class
sizes.
CONTINUOUS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT:
The structures and elements that help
schools continuously improve their
systems.
PROGRAMS: Programs are planned series
of activities and processes, with specific
goals.

Page 348
STRENGTHS: Something positive
that can be seen in the data. Often
leverage for improving a challenge.
CHALLENGES: Data that imply
something might need attention,
a potential undesirable result,
or something out of a school’s control.
DEFINITIONS
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
are placeholders until all the data are
analyzed. Implications are thoughts
to not forget to address in the school
improvement plan. Implications
most often result from CHALLENGES.
DEFINITIONS
List other demographic data you
would like to have in your data
profile.
Make sure your data profile
describes your uniqueness and
provides the information you need
to monitor your system.
OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS
• Individually review the
data to identify strengths,
challenges, implications
for planning, and further
data needed.
• Write your findings on
the Demographic Data

NEXT STEPS
Work with your ESU Staff Developer to
• Engage with your district/school data
• Analyze demographic, perceptual, student
learning, and school process data
• Understand the common and systemic
implications of strengths and challenges
from all four data types
• Solve challenges using data
Review implications across data.
Look for commonalities.
Create an aggregated list of
implications for the school
improvement plan.
MERGE STRENGTHS, CHALLENGES,AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT PLAN
After analyzing all four types of data
AGGREGATING IMPLICATIONS

What questions do you
need to answer to know
more about the problem
and what data do
you need to gather?
THE PROBLEM-SOLVING CYCLE
1. Identify a problem/
undesirable result.
2. List 20 reasons
this problem exists
(from the perspective
of your staff).
THE PROBLEM-SOLVING CYCLE
3. Determine what
questions you need
to answer with data.
4. What data do you
need to gather to
answer the questions?
THE PROBLEM-SOLVING CYCLE
PROBLEM SOLVING CYCLE
Evidence:
• Automatically end up at the 4 circles.
• Focus on the process(es) at the root.
Engagement:
• Makes big problems manageable.
• Time savings.
• Key in making the move from
personality driven to systemic and
systematic.

Perceptual Data
• Surveys are available for students, parent, staff, for districts/schools that will work with their ESU staff developer to learn how to analyze the perceptual data
• Districts/schools complete a (revised) form Schools receive links to the surveys
• Schools and ESU staff developer will receive the perceptual survey data
• The data belongs to the districts/schools
Perceptual Data
• Ability to administer surveys will be available in future years as well
• NDEs capacity to manage the perceptual data surveys is developing
