Tired of dusty data binders and wasted meeting time? Want strategies and tips for using data effectively? You're in the right place!

In this episode, Jessica Lane and Jenelle McClenahen of Symplifyed join me to discuss how we can move beyond collecting data and use it to support learning without overwhelming teachers. We explore what types of data teachers need to collect and what to ignore.

They share what context we should keep in mind when reviewing data with teachers, including why we need to blend behavior and academic indicators to get a complete picture. You’ll hear about using data to make decisions in the classrooms and how to turn team meetings into cycles that get real results. Plus, learn how instructional coaches can have more reflective data conversations with teachers.

We share stories, a few laughs, and plenty of examples to help you feel less stressed around all things data. Listen now to this episode about using data effectively!
