Using Data to Drive Professional Development
Tip:
Teachers need guidance in how to analyze data to help improve their teaching practice. As a professional developer, you can create several different instruments that your teachers can use to help them look for the evidence that they collect over a specific time period. You can create:
- A digital portfolio for each teacher to collect evidence
- A spreadsheet or diagnostic software to chart student data
- A classroom observation tool
- An interview form for talking to your colleagues and students
- Threaded discussions, web blogs, or database for teachers to store or share their reflections of what is working or not
