Educators go into the classroom because they love students, not necessarily because they love data! With the heightened focus on test scores and accountability, it is understandable that teachers, school leaders, and district administrators might approach data with trepidation or think that it takes the focus off of students as human beings. But good data analysis DOESN’T turn teaching into a cold or impersonal practice. In fact, data literacy is a key component in continuously improving instructional practices and helping each unique student achieve success in the classroom.
In this webinar, we will address common concerns about MTSS data and provide practical strategies to help educators embrace data as an essential part of teaching and learning.
Join this webinar to learn:
➡️ Common myths and concerns around MTSS data
➡️ The benefits of a strong data literacy culture and how it can improve student outcomes
➡️ How to make data-informed decision-making more practicable and efficient for teachers, school leaders, and district administrators.
