Some tips for effective data walls:
• Display of data intended to spur
conversation about improvement
toward goals
• Dynamic and regularly updated (plan
for sustainability)
• Messaging is informative and
encourages action
• Often supported with contests and
recognition
From Boston Public Schools
Some tips for effective data walls:
• Remove identifying information so
students are not discouraged or
embarrassed.
• Use student IDs instead of names.
Names can be used for accolades (i.e.
perfect attendance, honor roll).
• Make sure data is clear, labeled
properly, and understandable by all.
• Keep it simple!
