Data Response Teams

Participants from each school site will be trained to act as data response teams at their own school site. Data teams will learn to analyze and interpret assessment reports, use digital resources to enhance lesson plans, and use Progress Zone to monitor student progress. The power of this course is building internal strength in each school within the district to use data to drive decision making. These teams will become leaders and instructors among their peers. All Data Response Team members will have administrator access to the site. They will also receive STAR status in the Discovery Educator Network and have full access to ongoing support and professional development resources.
