Registration Button

The Data Leadership Academy develops the capacity to lead continuous improvement efforts that focus on high-quality evidence-informed teaching, learning, and systems improvement. The academy is designed for leaders along with their leadership teams, to engage in a process that embraces an inquiry mindset through a collaborative learning culture.

Team members will engage in a hands-on WISExplore data inquiry process that meets their needs for analyzing learning disruption, federal identifications, educator effectiveness, or other school improvement planning needs. Using their own local and state evidence sources, teams will actively engage in the steps of student data inquiry and root cause analysis that inform actions for improvement planning with an equity lens.

Cost:

$435 for AWSA members and $580 for non-members
