Chapter 7: Planning and Developing Technology-Rich Instruction

What is Data-Driven Decision Making?

Data-driven decision making is when decisions are made based on a wide collection of data. This data could be everything from student test scores to enrollment rates. Teachers can use data from one school year in order to make appropriate decisions for the following school year. Teachers can analyze data about assessment scores in a particular area and determine whether or not the teaching strategies they used worked or not. Keeping data can be a very useful management tool because it helps the teacher stay organized.

    I also wrote on data-driven decision making. When you become a teacher, a great way to keep data on your students, which is very private is through Microsoft Office Access 2007. I use it to help my sister keep track of her clients. She is an accountant and she keeps private information about them with it. There are no paper trails and you have to use a private number to get into the information.
