This seminar introduces you to the School Data Team, also known as a Building Data Team. The purpose of this leadership team is to improve instructional practice and to improve learning. The Building Data Team monitors school-wide improvement by monitoring the progress of the Instructional Data Teams and student performance growth.

This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of the Building Data Teams process. You will also learn practical strategies and experience an actual meeting. You’ll leave this seminar with an action plan that will help you implement a Building Data Team in your building.

Participants will learn about:

• The relationship between the Building Data Team and District Improvement plans
• The monitoring function of the Building Data Team
