Your response

What are the common reasons why staff members keep their data private from each other?  In what ways might you break down these barriers?

Some common reasons why staff members keep their data private from each other was that were some teachers who received low test scores for their students from the previous year. They were ashamed of themselves and often felt like they were a bad teacher. I think that I would have broken the barrier by picking my head and asking another fellow co-worker, “How can I do better?” or “How can I help my students improve their scores?’

For those with classroom and assessment experience, describe how easily accessible, openly shared, and deliberately arranged are your data today?

N/A

For those without such experience, discuss the importance of the 3 pillars of data management and how you intend to apply this to your anticipated practice.

I think the 3 pillars of data management could be very helpful to one who maybe entering the education field. Making sure that it is Easily Accessible would be very mindful so that the information can be accessed in a timely fashion. I think the school that I sub for the most uses grade speed which is a program that teachers can have access to the students that they share in different classes. This can help teachers figure out different strategies that can possibly help the student to get back on track which would also tie in together with Openly Shared. By having the Open Shared could also help brainstorm different strategies to help students achieve better scores for testing. It can also help to setup intervention meetings to help students to exceed in their work. I have noticed that the principal at the school I sub for have made charts and graphs and a spreadsheet to show where the school was as a whole for teachers. This was Deliberately Arranged. This benefits both the principal and teachers. It is one way to get the point across to the principal’s staff to help them improve their teaching styles.

What will you do to make your system for data management exceptional?

I think that when I become a first year teacher, I will be able to utilize the data management as a guide to help me grow into my teaching capabilities. I will learn how to collaborate with my peers and learn from them. It will also help me to become more vocal if I need help and not be ashamed to ask.

One reason could be that they would not like for their ideas to be taken and changed around.

Could not really answer this one

I feel that the data that is presented as needed to be appropriate and apply to the task at hand. I also intend to share the data with the correct people needed at the time. 

• What will you do to make your system for data management exceptional?
• It is needed to get the correct data into the correct hands so things can function well. I will also choose to provide feedback to my colleagues, it is only fair.
