Analyzing Data and Asking Questions

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

· Imagine you accepted an instructional leadership position at an institution with which you are unfamiliar. What data would you review to appraise learner performance, curriculum currency/quality, and instructional effectiveness? Justify your responses.

· How can instructional leaders use accountability data to effect positive change where previous efforts have failed? Justify your responses.

Include your own experience as well as 2 citations that align with or contradict your comments as sourced from peer-reviewed academic journals, industry publications, books, and/or other sources. Cite your sources using APA formatting. If you found contradicting information to what your experience tells you, explain why you agree or disagree with the research.
