Red Deer Public staff learn about data-driven decision making
Red Deer Public staff recently learned about how data can play an important role in the decisions made at both the school, leadership team and Board levels.
On April 26, about 50 staff members gathered to learn about data-informed decision making in the Aspiring Leaders program, which is hosted by the Division’s Human Resources Department.
“It was great to see staff want to learn about the cycle of Division decision making and planning and how Red Deer Public’s Board of Trustees and Leadership Team makes data-driven decisions using local engagement, Alberta Education Assurance Survey Results, student achievement data and other local measures to drive priorities and goals in our Division Education Plan,” said Associate Superintendent, Human Resources Corrine Thorsteinson. “It’s important to align practices, procedures, policies, decisions and resources with school and Division vision, goals and priorities.”
A panel including Associate Superintendent of Technology and Information Services, Ron Eberts, Principal at École Oriole Park Elementary, Lori Irvine, and Principal at Hunting Hills High School, Darwin Roscoe gave examples of how data-driven decisions have been made at the Division level, as well as in schools.
