Putting Your Data to Work

Improving Instruction in CTE

Discover a new perspective on the use of data-driven decision making and the positive impact it has in the CTE classroom. The term “data-driven decision making” is mentioned frequently in education, and it is most often discussed in reference to policy decisions related to reporting requirements and accountability. Though reporting requirements have their place in policy and accountability discussions, this frequently means little to the classroom teacher. This book explores multiple aspects of data-driven improvement in instruction and specifically targets the importance of gradient disaggregated objective technical skill data and its systematic use to continually improve instruction. The concepts and specific ‘how-to’ examples in this book are especially valuable for secondary, postsecondary, and adult educators. Don’t wait to get started applying the valuable approaches to increasing the success of your students!
