Making Data More Useful 7.12.09

http://www.allthingsplc.info/wordpress/?p=166
This blog isn't very active but what it posts is very good. This is the official PLC blog and many of the questions are answered by Richard DuFour himself. Good article on 3 important keys to managing assessment data. They are:
1) data needs to be easily accessible (within 48 hours of testing)
2) purposefully arranged (best way to ensure teachers can make us of it)
3) teachers must be given and take time to publicly discuss the results.

That 48 hour turnaround is huge for us. Our current system does not allow 48 hour turn around although we could make it so if we pushed it.

I'm going to have to share this one with the boss.
