Data+Analysis

The hierarchy of leadership is the main factor driving data analysis and implementation at Woodholme. Teachers are constantly monitored by administration to ensure completion of all data artifacts and that they exceed the success of previous years. The management system includes periodic collection and review of data collected. Woodholme’s administration provides protocols for staff to be accountable for data analysis, intervention, and achievement.

However, more time needs to be allotted for teacher inquiry and collaboration rather than doing this during their curricular planning time. Demands for both curriculum standards and data driven interventions is impossible without leaders providing more team planning. Providing school-wide needs assessments on the accessible technological resources within the school should determine their appropriate use in daily instruction. “Get teachers to use the technology that they have in their classroom appropriately in order to meet the learning needs of the students in a more individualized and motivating way.” (National Education Plan 2010, p. 18)

Stakeholders are given checklists and protocols that support how to get started with implementing the digital conversion initiative. Some of these resources include educational planning and sustaining progress checklists. The biggest obstacle is understanding the long term commitment and investment that all stakeholders need to make. Leadership must start by learning and integrating planned meetings and discussions. A protocol can be developed for leaders and staff that will support them in implementing “true” dialogue and discussion. To have success these protocols should take into account the varying moral and cultural beliefs, innovative thinking, and instructional practices. Assessing student progress is essential in determining successes and failures. Additionally, it will help teachers reflect and improve upon their own practices.
