Rationale: In today’s data-driven world, we are constantly surrounded by a vast influx of information. While it might seem like there is an abundance of data available, the real challenge lies in effectively utilizing this data to generate actionable insights. Without a clear strategy, we risk accumulating data without deriving any meaningful value from it, leading to a scenario where we are "data rich but information poor." By implementing structured protocols and leveraging advanced tools, we can transform this data into valuable insights, enhancing decision-making and driving more informed actions.
Learning Intention: Participants will learn how to use structured discussion protocols to analyze data effectively, improve student outcomes, and make the most of their time. They will also practice applying the Ladder of Inference to enhance their data discussions.
Success Criteria: Participants will know they are successful when they…
Can distinguish between the steps of data analysis using the Ladder of Inference
Can successfully talk through the steps of the “What Do You See, What Do You Make of It” protocol
Have made low-inference observations about a set of data
Have explored multiple assumptions about a set of data after verbalizing low-inference observations
Have identified an actionable next step based on the insights about a set of data

Activity: What Do You See, What Do You Make of It- Photo (Suggested Time: 6 minutes)
Activity: What Do You See, What Do You Make of It- Photo (Suggested Time: 6 minutes)
Step 1: What Do You See (2 min) Participants will silently review the photo and write down everything they “see” on the left hand column. Remember to stay low on the ladder and only write down facts.
Step 2: What Do You Make of It (2 min) Participants will silently evaluate the data and make some inferences. Write down “what you make of it” on the right hand column.
Activity: What do you see? What do you make of it?- Data (Suggested Time: 8 minutes)
Step 1: What Do You See (3 min) Participants will silently review the data and write down everything they “see” on the left hand column. Remember to stay low on the ladder and only write down facts.
Step 2: What Do You Make of It (3 min) Participants will silently evaluate the data and make some inferences. Write down “what you make of it” on the right hand column.
