2019 RESEARCH STUDY

BACKGROUND
Innovare Social Innovation Partners is an education consulting group that provides an intelligent software platform that guides education leaders through key milestones in the continuous improvement cycle.

LATCA chose to partner with Innovare Social Innovation Partners (SIP) to help enhance data literacy throughout the school, starting with the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT). As a leadership team, they were interested in better goal setting practices and monitoring student progress toward goals that would lead to overall better achievement.

GOALS
The purpose of research at LATCA was to test the conjecture that in-person and virtual staff development focused on data literacy at the leadership level would increase data literacy at the teacher level, and teachers would ultimately be able to practice the strategies and techniques Innovare SIP worked on with leadership to impact their classroom achievement levels. The lead end user was the principal, although the Innovare SIP typically worked with the entire ILT which included the principal.
