Cooking with Data
Data helps you identify disproportional gaps, select
a Focus Area for your work and prioritize the steps
of an Action Plan to eliminate the disproportionality.
Cooking with Data
EFFECTIVE and PRODUCTIVE use of data requires that
you disaggregate, longitudinate and cross tabulate
(or partner with someone who can arrange and show
data this way).

To what extent are you aware of
and concerned about achievement,
access, and opportunity gaps in
your school/district?
To what extent are your colleagues and
other stakeholders aware of and concerned
about these gaps?
What might you do to accelerate understanding and
capacity (your’s and others’) for closing gaps in your
school and/or district and/or county?
Tomorrow is TODAY
21
We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is
today.
We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.
In this unfolding conundrum of life and history
there is such a thing as being too late...
We must move past indecisiveness to action.
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
