Home Departments Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment Overview Increase the Use of Quality Data to Drive
The use of quality data to drive instructional decisions can lead to improved student performance (Wayman, 2005); (Wayman, Cho, & Johnston,2007); (Wohlstetter, Datnow, & Park, 2008). This Critical Success Factor emphasizes effective uses of multiple sources of disaggregated data. However, it is not necessarily the amount of data utilized, but rather how the information is used (Hamilton, et al., 2009). For example, academic achievement can improve when teachers create regular opportunities to share data with individual students (Black & Williams, 2005). Therefore, it is not only the use of data with others that provides the greatest opportunity for data to have a positive impact on student learning outcomes.
Key strategies establish the foundation for each Critical Success Factor. The activities supporting each CSF must be thoughtfully developed by stakeholders to ensure each campus initiative is successful. The strategies noted here, when implemented correctly, can support the development of each Critical Success Factor. While the following is not a definitive list, the evidence-based components provided here are proven to show a high rate of success.
