Focused on sharing best practices and building practical applications in data driven decision making, we invite the team leading your data driven strategy to join us for vision-building and hands-on learning.
- Space is limited to maintain an intimate conference environment
- The conference focus is intensive but fun, hands-on, collaborative, workshops and planning!
What You'll Accomplish
Through workshops, case studies, and time to work with your colleagues, you'll strengthen your district's
plan and process for data-driven improvement. You will:
- Align Response to Intervention (RtI) and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) by Implementing a Three-Tiered Intervention System through a Continuous Quality Improvement Framework
- Discover three critical interventions or "commitments" that enhance the systemic effectiveness of districts and schools, culminating in a standards-referenced or standards-based approach to schooling
- Use your own data to learn a step-by-step data dialogue protocol to organize and facilitate teacher learning communities focused on improving classroom instruction
- Leverage your school improvement plans and data to turn decisions into weekly and monthly action
- Integrate best practice strategies to implement your SchoolNet Instructional Management System
