Data Use Professional Development 16
Dashboard Data Use and Technical Assistance Center 17 Supported by the 2015 Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) Grant, the Center will provide LEAs with professional development and technical assistance to enhance data use and data literacy initiatives related to the Dashboards to ultimately change policy, practice, and outcomes. Region 19 will work with partner LEAs to implement the Dashboards in a comprehensive and sustainable way based on the needs of the LEA and its campuses. Region 19 will also design and provide professional development related to data literacy and use of the data in the Dashboards in efforts to improve LEA, campus, and student outcomes.
Professional Development 18 Design, create, and implement research-based professional development modules targeted to various groups of educators around the use of Dashboard data in their work. Create support resources and toolkits focused on the following topics: � Improving low-performing schools � Ensuring high school completion � Supporting highly-mobile populations � Differentiating instruction � Identifying students for intervention and monitoring outcomes
Best Practices Dissemination 19 Complete Dashboard implementation case studies Identify best practices from partner LEAs Develop strategies for sharing resources created through this project with ESCs and LEAs throughout the state Provide support or information to non-partner LEAs, when feasible
