O N E DATA P ROTO CO L FO R S C H O O L S

 By the end of this discussion, we will have:
 Learned and used the ORID process for examining and using data
 Used SAT data as a means to understand the ORID process

 Examining data and using data should be the norm
 Having focused data discussions means decisions will be made
 Everyone needs to be responsible for examining, analyzing, and using data

 ORID is one data protocol that can be used in schools
 It is structured
 It is focused
 Decisions are made after examining data

ORID Process
Designed by the Institute for Cultural Affairs
 Objective
 What do we know about this?
 Reflective
 How do we feel about this?
 Interpretive
 What does it mean for me/our organization?
 Decisional
 What are we going to do?
The ORID Process of Strategic
Questioning

 SAT data sets at your tables
 SAT data sets start globally (i.e., system results) down to racial/ethnic scores
 20 minutes for each section of the ORID

 Each group will have a facilitator (keeps the group focused on the task)
 Person who has a birthday closest to today’s date is the facilitator (Equitable Selection Practice)
 Each group will have a recorder who will record and report out group’s work
 Person who has been in their current (CURRENT) role the shortest period of time is the recorder (Equitable
Selection Practice)
