Bow Data Day

Just completed an awesome day of work with the Bow School District. We had about 25 people from the high school, middle school and elementary school looking at data all day.

They said they were in the novice category in terms of data but I found out early that they were being to hard on themselves. They asked great questions and showed the same kind of insight that I have seen with so many teachers with whom I have had the pleasure to work.

Highlights for me included the incredible dedication of the teachers and the hard work done.

As we move to our second day together we will focus on:
  • Are we asking the right questions?
  • Are the questions big enough?
  • Can we really get to conclusions? Or even inferences?
  • What is really going on?

Looking forward to it.
