Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Many superintendents and principals who are trying to galvanize their staffs to launch or refocus improvement efforts invite Education Trust President Kati Haycock in to show the national data and give a pep talk. But our experience has taught us that by organizing and explaining their own data in simpler ways—and by inviting teachers and parents in to examine what it suggests about the need for change—district and school leaders can have a powerful effect in catalyzing conversation and action. In this session, Haycock will show how to do that, and share data analyses that are particularly effective.
