For those of you unfamiliar with this organization, it's mission is to develop "programs, products, and services essential to the way educators learn, teach, and lead."

Excel for Educators: Session Recap: Data Displays as Powerful Feedback

http://excelforeducators.blogspot.com/2015/04/session-recap-data-displays-as-powerful.html

Monday, April 13, 2015. Session Recap: Data Displays as Powerful Feedback. I had the pleasure of presenting at the ASCD annual conference last month. Each year, I stretch myself a little further in making connections between ideas, as well as between technology and content. My logic model that framed my presentation was. I was slated for 8 am on the last day of the conference- -not quite the worst possible time slot, but just about. So, I had a small, but awesome crowd. Lots of comments afterward...I'm f...

Excel for Educators: Big and Little

http://excelforeducators.blogspot.com/2012/03/big-and-little.html

Tuesday, March 27, 2012. This material is reposted from my other blog. But I think it's worthy of sharing here, too. I like the idea of visuals which provide educators with both macro and micro levels of information. After all, school is not about making widgets. It's about learning with human beings. What are other ways we can "humanize" the data analysis process? And then, there is this article. What's this all mean? Posted by The Science Goddess. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, March 22, 2015. ASCD 2015: Data Tools. This is the third year that I've been on the hunt for high-quality data tools in the Exhibit Hall at the ASCD annual conference. The first year. 2013) was downright depressing. Last year was better. I ran across a couple of promising tools, although neither are represented at the conference this year. Here are the trends I'm seeing this spring. His reply: Because it looks cool. No, honey.it doesn't. We have to demand better from our vendors. Viz of the Day.

Excel for Educators: Looking at Disproportionality

http://excelforeducators.blogspot.com/2015/04/looking-at-disproportionality.html

Sunday, April 19, 2015. The concept of disproportionality. First, you need to know the enrollment numbers and percentages. For each subgroup. In other words, how many possible students are there who could participate in an athletic program, be subject to suspension/expulsion consequences, fail Algebra, or yes, pass the state test? Many schools report gender as close to 50/50 percent, as one might expect, but variations do exist. Don't assume that you're starting off with equal pools of participants.
