#328 The Real Purpose of Data in the Cla...

Teach Me, Teacher LLC
About this episode

Hello everyone! Data in the classroom has become a buzzword that doesn't have a lot of buzz anymore for teachers. It's often seen as a punitive way to make educators feel like failures—and worse—make kids feel like learning is just percentages to move up on a chart.

To really examine what data is supposed to be in the class, and give a fresh perspective on how it can effectively transform your classroom into a positive learning environment, I have brought back my good friend, Jen Kleiber.

Jen is a coach, speaker, author, and educator focused on student growth. Her work in Texas has worked to transform classrooms in significant ways, and her perspectives have helped educators embrace the tools that lead to effective teaching. Her book, Building a Bridge From "I Can't" to "I Did!" is on sale now at a discounted price.

Check out her FREE data one page wonder here.
