EDL 820 Data Analysis and Evidence-Based Improvement
This course will equip students to employ data-informed decision-making principles in a methodologically sound manner to bring about evidence-based improvement. Foundational to this process is building students’ data literacy - their ability to understand, analyze, and act on data. Students will learn to critically evaluate research and its claims, specifically examining the appropriateness and strength of the research methods used and the interpretation of the data. Ultimately, this course will equip students to understand, analyze, and act on data to inform decisions made in the classroom, school, and school district.
