  • How data teams are formed and their purpose


This one-day seminar is designed for principals, assistant principals, central office curriculum and instruction leaders, superintendents, assistant superintendents, board members, and teachers.

  • Prioritizing Needs
  • Setting Goals
  • Identifying Instructional Strategies
  • Determining Results Indicators


Each step will take participants deeper into new systems of thinking and applications of data.
