Data Tracking & Usability

NH RESPONDS

Brent Garrett & Pat Mueller, Evaluators

Amy Jenks, Project Coordinator

Agenda

Evolution of data tracking (Why?)

Data collection instrumentation (Who? What? How?)

Increasing usability (Tracking Systems)

Local site examples (So What?)

Lessons Learned

(If we had it to do over again…)

Evolution of Data TrackingSPDG reporting requires process and outcome data

Selection/Development of Assessments/Tools

Frequency and efficiency of data collection

Tracking and reporting

Sharing and using data for improvement at school/district/state-grant levels

Sustainability

Evaluation Workgroup

To serve in an advisory capacity to project evaluators.

Evolved in role over time.

Data Collection Instruments

Assessment/Tools (hand out)

Who collects it

How is it collected

What is collected

How do your projects determine

types/frequency of data to be collected and

reported?

Increasing Usability

NH RESPONDS School Summary of RTI Implementation Sheet (hand out)Assist evaluators, professional development

providers, and school/district teams.The more this was used, the better the collection,

sharing, and analyses of data.

Local Site Examples Review a completed NH RESPONDS School Summary of RTI

Implementation Form

NH RESPONDS staff Level: Data collection and reporting Used for improving training & TA; focus on sustainability

Use at district Level: Reviewed progress to date Discussed fluctuations in data – what do they mean? Clearly identified next areas of focus Renewal of commitment & resources for stabilization/sustainability

Use at school level: One page view of data useful Data needs further discussion and unpacking Consistency of features of model across content areas and tiers Fueled discussions about patterns in data; deepened knowledge of

Tiers

How has data been used with your

leadership teams and/or school teams?

Lessons LearnedWhat did we do well?

Team process (Evaluation Workgroup) for tool review and development.

Development of School Summary of RTI Implementation Sheet looking across content areas.

Ongoing review of data.

What would we do differently?Think about the number of instruments being used –

streamlining.The number of people (and staff turnover) involved with

data collection – ensuring consistency in data collected (version control, formats, etc.).

Accessible repository earlier on for project tools and data.

What lessons have you learned in your project related to data tracking

and usability?
