Specifics of Data Use Local program leaders and staff were not choosing to use discretionary time to conduct data analysis. Some indicated lack of skill.

Less Formal Strategies Conference evaluations Regionally Representative Leadership Team Data reported by Professional Development Facilitators (PDFs) 19

Acting on Assessment Look-Think-Act process to support local data use. Investment in data infrastructure for all students. Pushing more data and more useful data to local programs using Tableau. Making data part of connection points between state staff and local programs. 20
