Educators use different words to describe classroom and school decision making. But, we address the same uses data provide in business decisions.
Every part of every organization has heard the cry for more metrics, more analytics, more fact-based decision-making. Using analytics is one reason some of us use Tablet and other mobile PCs in education.
But for some, it can be difficult to grab the attention of key decision-makers (like teachers), if presenters don’t talk about metrics that directly impact the bottom line of student learning increases. Educators will find it possible to translate this discussion to classroom and school duties and options. Or, at least to sit through a discussion that uses vocabulary and logic coming to classrooms and schools.
