Assessment tools– Direct measures– Indirect measures

Interpretation of measurements
What did you measure? Are the results what you predicted? Can you use the data? What other factors may have influenced the
data? Help in statistical measurement maybe
needed
![Page 27: PROBLEM-SOLVING and DECISION-MAKING TOOLS](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061618/568135d2550346895d9d3a59/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Use the data to make changes
Slight variation may require small changes Larger variations require new curriculum or
further study Repeated large variations may require new
focus in mission or purpose.
