Leading Teacher Teams: Bridging the Divide between Data Inquiry and Instructional Change
Stosich, Elizabeth Leisy; Bocala, Candice
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v21 n3 p88-102 Sep 2018
This case is designed to highlight issues related to data inquiry in education, the role of leaders (specifically building-level administrators) in setting conditions for effective data conversations on teams, and the challenge of developing and deepening data use in a school over time. It was created based on interviews with a real elementary school in a district in the southwestern United States; however, all names of places and people are pseudonyms. The case challenges educators to consider how school leaders can create stronger connections between information about student learning and teachers' instructional decisions.
