Data-Driven Instruction (K-12)

This online course is designed for K-12 teachers who want to not only learn about the data-driven decision-making process, but who want to learn how to dig deep into the data to help them further drive their instruction for the benefit of all students. In addition to learning about the different phases of the data-driven decision-making process, teachers will also learn how to “read” and analyze data so that any newly-discovered trends and weaknesses can be turned into concrete learning and understanding. Teachers will also learn about the role they play in guiding students to perform their best, using data to support their instructional decisions. Teachers will learn how to effectively use data to support their grouping decisions so that student motivation is increased and essential parental partnerships are forged. Teachers will dive into several data-driven instruction best practices and will learn how to use the various types of data to their utmost advantage, employing technology as much as possible.
