Data Analysis, Sharing, and Action

Intended Audience School / Divisional Data Teams	Intended Use Following these steps will support you in analyzing, sharing, and actioning your data.

Broad Analysis	Deep Analysis	Sharing and Action
Conduct initial scan of your One-Click Report results. Do any of your results need further investigation?	Focus your analysis using the Interactive Charts: Use drill-downs and year-over-year comparisons to see if you notice any patterns or trends. Apply the norm and replica line for comparison. What are the areas to celebrate? What are the areas for future growth?	Who will you share your results with? Can you connect, or “triangulate,” your OurSCHOOL evidence with other sources of data you have available? How can you impact your results? What interventions can you use?

Broad Analysis	One Click Report: Identify an area for further investigation	Example: Social Emotional Outcomes -Sense of Belonging
Inference from OurSCHOOL Reports	Example: -Starts strong in comparison to norm but declines by grade 10.
Deep Analysis	What drill-down(s) are you going to look at?	Example: -Sex -Year -Aboriginality -Year over year comparisons
Findings from Interactive Charts (areas to celebrate, and areas for future growth).	Example: -After drilling down by sex, I notice a gender gap: the decline is more pronounced in girls. - Drilling down by grade shows that grade 8 boys are the lowest group when compared to replica school

Sharing and Action	Who will I share results with? What is my strategy for sharing?	Example: -I will share my results with teachers, students, and parents/guardians. -Strategy: I will share with teachers at next meet (One-Click report and PowerPoint). I will share with students via announcements, posters in the school, and social media posts. Teachers and students will share the data with the school board.
Identify: Other evidence to triangulate Questions for further interrogation Strategy for obtaining more information Possible Action Plan	Example: I need to: -look at our OurSCHOOL thematic reports, attendance data, school programs and other sources of data. -look at our current strategies for enhancing Sense of Belonging. Have these been reviewed? Are there groups for whom these are working well / not working? Why? -hold focus groups for students in grade 8 and 11.
