Data, data, data... this week's readings and assignments discussed the importance of data and how to work with it.
It was mentioned in one of the readings (I have noticed this about my campus as well)- that schools are data-rich but do not utilze the data to its fullest potential. A couple of reasons for this is because there is too much data to work with (it is hard to know what needs to be analyzed) and campuses do not know what to do with it (no follow through).
This week's assignment was to make a S.M.A.R.T. goal and an objective for one of my campus' weaknesses. S.M.A.R.T. stands for S.- Specific, M.- Measurable, A.- Achieveable, R.- Realistic/Results- oriented/Research-based, and T.- Time-bound. I like that the S.M.A.R.T. approach is a step by step guidelilne to make goals and objectives.
Last week's assignment was a little overwhelming, but this week it was nice to use a guideline. It is easier to work with data with a step by step approach.
