Suggestions for Data Use Copyright 2013 New Teacher Center. All Rights Reserved.
Suggestions for Data Use Teaching conditions matter for students and for educators. Understanding that not everyone sees them the same way is important in developing strategies and policies for school improvement. By making this data part of the school improvement planning process, findings from each teaching condition construct can be seamlessly integrated in the current and emerging school improvement programs at every school.
Don t regard this as an attempt to merely document the physical structure and related resources in a school building While physical facilities and resources are included in the research base, other complex factors influencing the professional teaching practices of educators are also measured Do use the findings to inform school and district level decisions about: Scheduling Professional development offerings Opportunities to support and cultivate teacher leadership, collaboration, and Investments in facilities and resources
Don t over- or underrepresent the data in local policy decision-making Local policymakers should neither ignore the power of teaching conditions data, nor make policy without the context of other data points about the school and/or district Do use this data to help drive local-level policy decisions Reviewing data results with local teacher associations, school leadership, local school boards, legislators, and other decision-makers can ensure that policies and resources are more responsive to the most pressing needs of students, educators, schools, and districts
Don t use the information within the vacuum of a single school, with fear of comparisons to other schools The results will prove more meaningful if used to support collaborative efforts to identify and implement best practices within and among schools Do view the results within the context of progress from yearto-year and relative to other groups of schools across a district and the state The findings are reported with bars representing the school, district and state averages for questions and constructs.
