“…even if we increase our attendance by 1 percent – a very conservative goal – that represents $2 million in additional [state] funding.”

- Dr. Jamie Wilson, SuperintendentDenton Independent School District, Texas

1 187 day teacher contract ÷ 5 days per week = 37.4 weeks × 2 hours saved each week = each teacher saves 74.8 hours per year × 1,960 teachers = 146,608 hours reclaimed annually district-wide

“Teachers had to work harder before to make sense of the information, and sometimes they had to request additional data,” says Meza. “I’d estimate that each of our teachers will be saving a couple of hours a week that they can put back into their lesson plans and other more valuable activities.” Two hours a week may not seem like much, but the combined effect at Denton ISD in Texas will be more than 146,000 hours of teacher time reclaimed per year. 1

Empowering teachers with data“One piece of quality teaching for improving student outcomes is effective data use. Teacher data use is also the best way to maximize state investment in data systems. To date, however, policies have not gone far enough to promote the skills teachers need to be data literate. Consequently, many teachers feel overwhelmed by data, rather than viewing data as a tool for improving instruction and ultimately outcomes for students.”1

K12 Data Use

• “The use of analytics is a natural progression as districts continue to personalize student learning.” 1

“School software programs are getting more sophisticated in using data analytics to help educators target their instruction more effectively and personalize learning for students.Learning and instructional management systems now include increasingly powerful “data dashboards” that show teachers and administrators what interventions their students need—and how best to deliver these.” 2

PK12 Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics – for what purpose?

http://thejournal.com/Articles/2014/06/12/Predictive-Analytics-in-K-12-Advantages-Limitations-Implementation.aspx?Page=1#zUALKcSRVvQfK7OS.99

To build early warning indicators based on students' attendance, course failure and behavior to predict dropouts

To predict on-time high school graduation and being on track in Grade 9

To examine indicators that predict college- and career-readiness and postsecondary success

Recently predictive analytics has also gained momentum in identifying and retaining great teachers

A Culture of Data Use

“All elements of a school's culture, including student aspirations and a code of conduct that promotes positive learning behaviors, benefit from the use of student learning data. Improving instruction is nearly impossible without it.

The data-driven cycle of assessment, analysis, and action, which is indispensable for increasing student achievement, must be deeply embedded in the school's culture and a top priority for schoolwide improvement.”

Data Privacy and Security - Resources

15 ISTE 2014

Is student data privacy in the spotlight?• The NCSL counted about 100 bills introduced in 33

states on student data privacy. More than a dozen were enacted. 1

• …At the same time, it is clear that barriers to (cloud) adoption in schools are being met in a variety of ways, especially concerns that the cloud is not sufficiently safe for sensitive data. 2

• Many see great potential to leverage these digital learning environments to mine data, which can be used to decipher trends in student behavior and create personalized software. First mentioned in the NMC Horizon Report > 2012 K-12 Edition, learning analytic has intrigued many school leaders and educators that want to use data to improve learning outcomes; yet, parents along with leaders in the field have voiced their apprehension and outright suspicion about collecting data from K-12 students.3
