Semester Hours: 4
This is the first of a two-semester sequence of courses is designed to prepare educational leaders to use data as a fundamental tool to improve the experiences of children and adults in schools and other learning institutions. Participants will learn to use data to develop a culture of high standards and equity in learning organizations and monitor student achievement and learning. Students in this class will build an institutional instructional student data base; monitor an educational intervention within an organization; use data to describe institutional processes, practices, and progress; examine institutional belief systems, underlying assumptions, and behaviors; speculate on ways to use results to mobilize the school community for action; and provide a record of personal and institutional accountability. The class covers measures of central tendency and dispersion, normal curve, correlation, linear regression, chi-square, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, partial and multiple correlation and multiple regression, factor analysis.
