Answer preview

The ultimate goal of any educational institution is to raise the student achievement levels of its learners. In order to do this, education institutions have to embrace data-driven decision-making, which takes place when educators and administrators use data to guide different aspects of their activities, such as designing curriculums and coming up with interventions to address a particular issue. This paper will be divided into three parts, with the first section covering a summary of three articles pertaining to data-informed decision-making related to professional learning and collaboration. The following section will relate the information within these articles to the learning experience prepared in modules one through three. The final part will outline the supplementary strategies I would have incorporated to make the professional learning experience more collaborative and meaningful.
