Week 2 Discussion 1 - Creating a Data-Driven Culture

After completing this week's Readings and Resources, access the link below and read the article.

• Creating a Data-Driven Culture: Leadership Matters (pdf)

The article is written by an associate professor at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. It is an excellent article that details the characteristics of a data-driven culture. Dr. Mills talks about schools that are "data rich" and "information poor."

• In your opinion, is this a true assessment?
• Do you believe this to be true in the school where you are working?
• Of the Eight Steps for Success that Dr. Mills discusses, which one or ones do you see in your school?
• How would you like to change that if you were in the school executive's chair?

Your initial response is due by 11:55 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday and should be between 200-250 words. The initial posting should be a statement of your point of view on the question, supported by the required readings. Need Help? Click here for complete discussion forum instructions.
