Data Driven Decisions
Researches have shown the benefits of using data to make instructional decisions that lead to improve students’ academic performance.

Data driven teaching and learning processes must be broaden and should include: attendance, teacher-student discourse, interactions, students’ emotional discipline, portfolio, different activities records and traditional assignments and grades. Student data and data-based recommendation should be readily available to every teacher involved in the student education process, including Resource teachers and Fine Arts teachers. Data collection demonstrates the measure of knowledge students have mastered and must be the driving force for staff planning instructions and interventions.
