Strategic Use of Data is ongoing, reflective and collaborative analysis of implementation and outcomes data in a problem-solving process to inform improvement and achieve equity.
Defining Elements
Teams at all levels of support:
- Use implementation data (staff knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices) to:
- Gauge the extent to which practices are in place and used as intended
- Gauge the extent to which features of an equitable multi-level system of supports are in place and implemented with fidelity
- Guide action planning, professional development, and resource allocation
- Use multiple forms of aggregated and disaggregated student outcome data to:
- Gauge the effectiveness of system of supports for learners and families
- Identify who is benefitting from and whose needs are underserved by the system
- Skillfully use problem-solving processes to inform data-based decisions and actions
- Establish an environment of trust and transparency for data use
- Use consistent, culturally competent processes focused on changing the system and adult practices, rather than fixing students and families
