EDU 6157 Using Data and Evidence for School and District Improvement (3) Online (Synchronous/Asynchronous) Course participants study multiple sources of evidence, including but not limited to measures of student learning, student and family experiences, and school culture and climate, through close analysis of disaggregated data to inform school and district goals, interrupt historically systemic racial inequities, and improve educator effectiveness and student learning. This course examines scheduling and school data systems to ensure equitable access to teaching, learning, and collaboration, including frequently examining disaggregated student data to ensure equitable access to effective educators and advanced coursework for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Indigenous, and Multiracial students. The use of technology, key tools, and strategies to facilitate data analysis and efficient management of administrative functions is explored. Positive impact is measured by various academic and non-academic outcomes that encompass student learning, students' social-emotional well-being, and the development of students' content knowledge and skill development, cultural competence, and socio-political awareness. Candidates will engage in a cycle of inquiry to investigate areas of concern and promising practices and reflect upon this process as it relates to change in their school or district. They will analyze data, brainstorm effective strategies, create action plans, implement strategies, and evaluate results. M.Ed. EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES ONLY.
