Leading collaborative data conversations: 

Collaborative teams are an important part of a district's infrastructure. Armed with screening data, collaborative (district, building, grade-level) teams can engage in meaningful conversations that help move the needle on student achievement by reflectively analyzing the data, identifying specific areas for instructional improvement, setting forth a means for measuring progress within a specific area, and committing to making time for ongoing collaboration around improvement (Gibbons, Brown, Niebling, 2019). 

In order to get the conversation started, Kansas MTSS & Alignment recommends using the following Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, and Decisional framework that allows participants to meaningfully analyze and process the data.
