**Discuss all of the following questions and/or statements:

3)Inquiry into Data Sets- How do schools, teachers, etc. dig deeper into data

4)Acting on Data- Once data is analyzed what and how does it promote change

5)What is the purpose for developing literacy goals? How do you analyze RTI2 screening and progress monitoring as part of your school-wide literacy goals? How do Tier I teachers support literacy development for their students?

6)Integrating Data and the School Improvement Process- Example: how is the use of data a vital part to moving schools? Why do you look at multiple data points? What are the dangers if the focus is limited to one data point and that one piece of data is used to make school wide decisions?

7)Explain the purpose, state legal requirements, benefits, and data components for school improvement planning. Example: In your school or district explain what is included in your plan and why? In other words, if your school has identified attendance as an area to strengthen explain why?

8)Reflect on the process of how and why data can be used to drive classroom or school wide improvement. Example: Why school analysis should start with the examination of data? Here is your opportunity to make a deductive case for what data should be considered and how the results of your analysis promote the improvement process. In other words if your school or district is fixated on one data point…why are you not looking at attendance, transient students, etc. You can make the case here that all those data points effect the ONE data point that schools and districts fixate on.99
