What Data? When?
• Analyze the types of data you tend to collect and use to make instructional decisions. • Analyze when you collect and use different data sources. • Evaluate your patterns and plan for next steps. Data literacy is the ability to gather, interpret, and use multiple data sources effectively to improve student learning.
