Data-Driven Decision Making for Teachers

Data-Driven Decision-Making for Educators is all about empowering educators to be able to make informed decisions to improve student learning. The resources, activities, and assignments are designed for you to be able to analyze data, understand the different types of assessments and their proper use, run your own data reports, and communicate your findings with parents, educators, and policy makers.

Part of the course focuses on standardized testing including their purpose, best use, and ways to get the most out of the data. This includes activities where you will use your school's data analysis application to run your own reports. This course includes how professional learning communities can work together to analyze data leading to curricular decisions and developing an action plan. You will also learn how data affects decision making at all levels including national, state, district, school, grade level, and individual students.

This course is recommended for educators at all grade levels. You do not need access to students to complete the course. As with all of our courses, we take great pride in supporting our students and addressing their individual needs.

This course is applicable towards the Technology Skills for Educators Certificate.
