Data-Driven Decision-Making
All decisions I make as a leader will be in the best interest of students and their safety. However, it goes without saying that this is the goal of nearly every leader and teacher in a school. No teacher or leader begins the process of decision making intending to be ineffective. Therefore, it is imperative that the decisions being made with regard to instruction, discipline, and all other aspects of education be made using solid, relevant, and convincing data. This data justification will be shared openly with teachers, and will be expected from teachers in their decisions as well. Professional learning communities in my building will be expected to hold data in high regard and base all thinking and action upon relevant data.
