Using Data to Drive Instructional Practices
Dr. Kilpatrick focuses on leveraging data to enhance teaching effectiveness. Designed for educators, it outlines a four-step process—Assess, Analyze, Act, and Build Culture—based on the research of Paul Bambrick-Santoyo. Dr. Kilpatrick created a data analysis tool that can be used for all grade bands and subject areas to address student learning needs. In this presentation participants learned how to evaluate student data, identify areas of struggle, create targeted reteaching plans, and foster a data-driven culture within their schools. The goal is to equip teachers with actionable strategies to improve student outcomes through rigorous and informed instructional practices.
