Lesson: Communication - Activities and Instruction

Item

• Have participants review the Data Steward/Coordinator Responsibility Assignments checklist completed in the Data Steward/Coordinator Responsibilities workshop. Have each participant mark off on the Communication Grid the responsibilities identified in the checklist as his or hers.
• For the indicated responsibilities, have participants check off the staff members to whom planning or data quality issues should be communicated. Then, in the Communication Strategies column, have participants indicate which of the communication techniques and strategies discussed during the lesson introduction they would employ regarding each item.
• Pair up the participants to compare with each other the choices they made for each item in the Communication Grid, making additions or changes as they wish. Then, with the whole group, pick two or three items for participants to discuss.
• Briefly review the training provided to the other key players in an LEA under Foundational Data Improvement Lessons in this curriculum. Then have participants discuss as a whole group (1) what previous training regarding issues related to data quality the key players in their LEAs have received and (2) what they each consider to be the priorities for additional or ongoing training.
• Based on that discussion, have participants fill out the Professional Development Planning sheet.
