Organizational Considerations in Establishing the Data-Informed District
Wayman, Jeffrey C.; Jimerson, Jo Beth; Cho, Vincent
School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v23 n2 p159-178 2012
In the United States, effective data use is proving to be a vexing problem. In response, scholars have recently begun viewing this as a systemic problem, believing there are actions a school district may take to make data use more efficient and tenable throughout the organization. In this article, we add to the knowledge of how school organizations can more effectively use data for educational improvement. Through the lens of the Data-Informed District, we leverage the research on organizational improvement and data use to discuss 3 specific organizational areas in which these districts may improve: establishing common understandings, professional learning for using data, and computer data systems.
