Paraphrase data to identify bright spots and challenge areas.
Paraphrase data to identify bright spots and challenge areas.
The Paraphrase rung is where we answer “what is happening?” for our areas of focus. This includes checking our progress to goal, looking at variation of results, and identifying bright spots and challenge areas.
After Collect and Prepare we have data to interpret. In Paraphrase we will look at the data to answer “what is happening?”. Next in Explain we will work to understand the root causes behind our bright spots and challenge areas in order to answer "why?".
Understanding “what is happening?” is crucial to understanding whether we are on track to meet our goals or not. Also paraphrasing gives us a chance to identify and assess all bright spots and challenge areas in order to prioritize which areas to analyze during Explain.
Within the Data Collaborative, this will include filling out our progress to goal for our various SMART Goals. It will also include looking at our variation in results across grades, sites, classrooms etc.
