Listen and learn: Edtalk 
Recorded Session
The purpose of this session is to explain to coaches and library media specialists how to use data to defend and explain their positions. The challenge is to explain to those whom they do not work with how they support the goals of improving learning for students. This requires an understanding of using qualitative data to explain quantitative data. It also means understanding the methodology of sharing this information concisely. The objective is to make all participants aware of the types of data and ways they can use it to explain to others outside the school building what they do.
End-of-year reporting for the non-classroom teachers and support personnel takes more thought and preparation.
1. Discuss what is an EOY report. 2. Play a game with suggested ideas that go into an EOY report. 3. Provide examples. 4. Opportunities for others to provide examples. 5. Analyze some examples (from the presenter) of what is useful & not. 5. Discuss types of presentations and key ideas on what to use when reporting outside the school house.
Everyone leaves with an idea of what data to collect during the school year to create an EOY report.
