Identify from the various sources of data in the literature, the two most significant sources you feel are necessary for staff to study in order to improve student achievement. Write a paper explaining why you feel these data sources are essential. Be sure to address the following questions in your paper:
·To what extent does the staff at your school or within your district feel that data should drive decisions related to school improvement? Classroom practices? Policies?
·As a leader, how might you instill greater efficacy pertaining to the importance of data utilization?
Also, describe your plan to approach your constituents with confidence, yet in a humble way. Explain how you will get the best out of your team members by empowering them. Finally, explain how you can be challenging, inspire, respect, and willing to share the credit.
