Improving Instruction Using Data

Catalog description

This course will focus on the critical expectation that school executives can create processes for the collection and use of student assessment data, both summative and formative, for the purpose of improving classroom instruction. This course will examine the knowledge and skills necessary to address this important responsibility and will provide candidates with the data analysis framework needed in order to apply this knowledge during the administrative internship experience and beyond. Case scenarios featuring actual schools and real data allow candidates to reflect upon decisions and synthesize data for further use by teachers. The course will culminate in the production of a digital product for use in sharing analyses, conclusions, and recommendations with school faculty. Credit:
