The Principal is Unable to Use Data to Make Informed Decisions

The Principal is Unable to Use Data to Make Informed Decisions

When the principal does not manage professional learning, they are unable to use data to make informed decisions.

The Problem is Compounded 

The principal:  

• does not collect and track school or classroom data daily  
• cannot analyse and action data in the same week as accurate and timely data is not available to them  
• cannot examine the data to identify patterns of success and difficulty  
• does not use data to inform decisions about instruction, professional learning and school improvement  
• cannot immediately respond to team members’ needs  
• cannot reflect on how their professional learning impacts student learning and does not identify which techniques and practices they need to improve to increase student growth.
