A small favor of all those using or planning to use data for the evaluation of and planning for learning, please read a very short book:
“Understanding Variation” by Donald Wheeler. SPC Press.
Data used in most educational settings is isolated from context. That type of data contains little information upon which to base meaningful action toward continual improvement.
Using that type of data is most often detrimental to process improvement. For further information see “Out of the Crisis” by Edwards Deming or “The Deming Dimension” by Neave.
