Preparing for Baseline Data Analysis

Rationale: Analyzing baseline data from our first Milestone Engagement visit gives us a clear and objective view of the school's current practices. This helps us focus on the most important improvement priorities that will have the greatest impact on student success.

Learning Intention: Leaders will gain a better understanding of how baseline data from our first site visit is used in Assessment to Achievement and will be ready to analyze this data with their School Transformation Teams.

Success Criteria: Teams will know they are successful when they:

• Can explain why baseline data is important for meeting the project goals in Assessment to Achievement.

• Understand the different sources of baseline data, how it was collected, and how to interpret it.

• Have reviewed the baseline data report, compared it to their STT’s summer vision, and planned how to guide tomorrow’s discussions with their STT.
