Description¶

This strategy positions data use as a collective sense-making activity rather than an individual task. The brief states that "Data are most powerful when they are used as part of a collective sense-making process among educators" and that working in a collaborative group with a structured data analysis process lets educators harness multiple perspectives and ideas and develop and implement responses more systematically to support improved learning outcomes.
