Training workshops support districts that seek to more effectively manage, access, and interpret district educational data for instructional improvement and public information use. Districts are provided with individualized assistance in developing data as the foundation for Comprehensive District Education Plans, Professional Development Plans, Academic Intervention Services, or other SED plan requirements.
Data collection is at the core of program writing and program evaluation.
Information gathered about your program is only useful if careful program planning has specified what should be measured. In addition, data is worthless if it is not gathered in a reliable, valid manner and managed effectively. This service supports the individual educational planning needs of districts or local schools. The service will coordinate with SED regarding planning requirements, assist districts with completing plans, and assist with incorporating multiple SED plans into a Comprehensive District Educational Plan. Support includes help with team formation, identification of root causes for shortcomings in student achievement, strategies to improve instruction, identification of resources to support improvement of student achievement, and facilitation of planning meetings within districts or schools.
