TEKS for Leaders

Data Analysis: Using Data to Ask Good Questions

2-day session, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; fee $450

The use of data to guide decision-making is a proven strategy for improving student achievement. A key to success on the TAKS and other assessments is to understand the test data and the assessment tool itself. This two-day session guides participants through an in-depth examination of data to inform decision-making targeted at improving student achievement. Participants examine data, look for patterns, interpret trends, and determine strategies for responding to their findings.

These questions serve as the focus for this seminar:

  • How is the assessment designed and what does it measure?
  • What do the various scores measure and what do they suggest about student performance?
  • How does the use of comparison data when analyzing group, cohort, and objective data help improve data-driven decisions?
  • What can be learned from group, individual, and item analysis?
