Data-driven inquiry
Recently implemented New York State school accountability measures emphasize the importance of strategic, data-driven decision-making within schools and districts. But data alone does not always present a full picture of a school community, and school or district leaders can feel stuck. Digging deeper to understand & unpack data, as well as NYS-mandated evaluation components, will enable leaders to use their data to yield the highest gains for teaching and learning within their school or district.
In this three-part series, we'll use the inquiry process to interpret data patterns and trends, identify goals for your school, and develop inquiry-based projects for you to implement in a school or district. By the end of the series, you'll understand the critical design components of a data-driven inquiry project, be equipped with the skills to strategically use data to maximize school success, and will be prepared to lead others through their own inquiry project.

Throughout the series, you'll be able to:
- Strategically apply district/school data to each stage of the inquiry process
- Identify the six components in a successful data-driven inquiry project
- Implement and lead colleagues in a data-driven inquiry project in your district/school
- Engage in a community of educators who can share ideas and resources
