  Framework for Effective Data Use - Getting Started
  

   

  Data Literacy is about asking the right questions as part of an inquiry process.

  This module will follow the process of effective data use by guiding the user through the six questions to ask when analyzing data.

   

  Step 1 What do you need to know ... about your school, classroom, students, etc?

  Step 2 What data is available ... from this report tool to help answer your question?

  Step 3 How do you get the data ... from the system in a form that you understand?

  Step 4 What is the data telling you ... about the question you posed or a trend you notice?

  Step 5 What other information do you need ... to complete the picture?

  Step 6 What do you do with the information ... to support student success and school planning?

  The learning doesn't stop at Step 6. To fully embed your learning it is essential to put it into practice and apply your learning.
