Description
Understanding data is important, but the real power of data emerges when students use it to make decisions, take action, and communicate their progress. Looking for strategies that help students move beyond reporting scores to taking ownership of their learning? In this course, Lauren Boucher explores practical routines that help students use evidence to set goals, identify next steps, monitor progress, adjust strategies, and communicate effectively with teachers, peers, and families. Participants will learn how to support students in turning data into meaningful action while fostering confidence, reflection, and self-advocacy.By the end of this course, educators will walk away with tools and frameworks that help students connect evidence to action and become active participants in their own success. This course is ideal for classroom teachers, instructional coaches, interventionists, and school leaders who want to strengthen student ownership, reflection, and decision-making by helping learners communicate their progress, advocate for their needs, and use evidence to guide continuous improvement.This is course four of four in the series titled "Data in Their Hands: Building Student Data Literacy, Agency, and Action."
