Data, Data and More Data

Posted by Darri Stephens on Jul 25, 2011 in Blog, Envision Schools


Data, Data and More Data

Last week, Leonard and I decided to dive into the teacher/coach’s data- overwhelming to say the least.  The graphs visually are appealing, but we decided that ideally there would be a customized way to wade through the information.  For instance, when looking at the class stats, the green boxes look plentiful- yet when delving deeper, not many correlate to those topics earmarked by the…
