Taylor and Francis Ltd Harnessing Formative Data for K-12 Leaders 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Mekhitarian, Stepan

Harnessing Formative Data for K-12 Leaders prepares school and district leaders to re-evaluate how real-time formative data can inform policy, planning, and professional development. The importance of effective formative data use has escalated since the expansion of distance learning and the integration of digital education tools, which have impacted the consistency, accuracy, availability, and actionability of data points that leaders rely on. This book's strategic insights into actionable, organizational-level formative data use will yield differentiated supports for schools to foster greater academic outcomes, a culture of equity and social-emotional well-being, and students' readiness for college, career, and lifelong learning. Each chapter includes connections to social justice, best practices for applying data points and field-tested tips for technology integration, and a host of interactive planning guides to support implementation._x000D_ _x000D_ Foreword by Jason Green and Tiffany Wycoff_x000D_ _x000D_ Preface_x000D_ _x000D_ Acknowledgements_x000D_ _x000D_ About the Author_x000D_ _x000D_ Part I: The Need to Reevaluate How We Use Data in Our Organizations_x000D_ _x000D_ Introduction: Changing Data Considerations_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Advancements in Technology Changing Formative Data Use_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Loss of Consistent Summative Data from Previous Academic Years_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Concerns about Data Reliability Due to Limited Measures_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 1: Your Organizations' Vision and Beliefs_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Assessing Your Organization's Vision_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Reflecting on Your Beliefs About Student Learning and Your Role_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Where Formative Data Fits In_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Takeaways_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 2: The Impact of Formative Data on Student Success_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Formative Data Fosters Educators' Growth Mindset_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Formative Data Informs Planning and Focus Areas_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Formative Data Facilitates Differentiation and Promotes Equity_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Takeaways_x000D_ _x000D_ Part II: Effective Formative Data Use for Leaders_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 3: Effective Formative Data Use to Drive Organizational Change_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ How Actionable is the Data You Are Gathering?_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ How Timely is the Data You Are Gathering?_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ How Much Data Do You Need?_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ How much time will it take to collect the data and will you be able to address all the data you collect?_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ List data points to inform progress on:_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Takeaways_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 4: Using Instructional Technology to Effectively Address Formative Data_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Using your SIS, Excel and Instructional Technology such as Illuminate to Efficiently Gather Formative Data_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Identifying and Addressing Validation Concerns to Ensure Broader Impact_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Implementing a Collaborative Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle to Address Data_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Takeaways_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 5: Analyzing Formative Data Collaboratively to Identify and Celebrate Best Practices_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ PLCs using the PDSA cycle_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Peer Observations - in-person and virtual_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Professional Development linked to formative data page_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Including a wide variety of departments to maximize perspective and expertise_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Takeaways_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter 6: Building a Data-Driven Culture of Innovation_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Re-envisioning Professional Development on Formative Data for All Educators_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Reflecting on the Focus on Summative and Formative Data_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Fostering a Data-Driven Organizational Culture_x000D_ _x000D_ Conclusion_x000D_ _x000D_ References_x000D_ _x000D_ Index_x000D_
