From Data to Decisions
Apply a practical data-to-action cycle: identify the question → choose the right data → analyze for patterns → make an instructional decision → check if it worked. Master the 'same-day data loop' and the 'small data revolution.'
What you'll walk away with
Apply the data-to-action cycle: question → data selection → pattern analysis → instructional decision → impact check
Implement the 'same-day data loop' using formative checks to adjust instruction within a single class period
Triangulate multiple data sources (quantitative, qualitative, student-reported) to build reliable pictures of student learning
Translate data patterns into specific, implementable instructional changes and evaluates their effectiveness
How a Learning Series works
Work through the snacks — short, evidence-based lessons that build your understanding. Each one gives you research, a classroom connection, and one thing to try or discuss.
Test your understanding in a low-stakes mini-experiment before you bring it to your classroom. Leverage our downloadable materials to support you in your teaching and classroom practice and let us know how it goes!
For credit towards an Accingo Course certificate, try something from this series in your own classroom, then complete a short, structured reflection on what you learned and what you would bring to your PLC and/or regular practice. You will see "Application Artifact" if required.
