Imagine you are a seasoned middle school principal in Everything Great School District. You have been asked to coach a new middle school principal on how your school uses data-based decision-making to determine new instructional strategies in math for students in your school. 

Consider the following 5 steps:

• Goal setting (accountability, school development, and instruction) for improvement of student behavior and goals must be SMART (specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and timely)
• Identification of stakeholders in the goal-setting process
• Data collection (multiple sources of informal and formal data)
• Sensemaking (data analysis)
• Action required
