The K-Car Approach Key Questions Collection Analysis Reporting
What are the questions that are important to you right now?
What data are you currently collecting and how is it being used?
Who is doing the analysis and in what format?
Who is benefiting from this analysis and how is it being reported?

Avoiding Exploring Building Maintaining Transforming We know data is important but don't have time to focus on it right now. We feel somewhat guilty about not using data more effectively, but there are too many other things that are higher priority.
We collect and report some data but we know we could do more with it. Data comes up frequently in conversations and we feel that if we could just harness the data we have, it could have a big impact. We are working on plans to use data more effectively but do not have a clear path forward.
We have a plan for how to use data and are working to implement it. We have some processes and tools in place, but it is still a work in progress.
We collect and report our data on a regular basis. Tools and processes are in place and working smoothly. Data collection and analysis is considered part of the job rather than a separate initiative.
We use data to truly understand how we are performing and identify strategies for improvement. We regularly monitor our progress and adjust our practices as needed based on the results.

FINDING SIMPLICITY IN THE COMPLEXITY

• We collected data but did nothing with it • We weren’t sure what data was the most important • We weren’t sure how to report data • No one talked about targets • No one listened anyway • It (not surprisingly) did not lead to changes in behaviour…
The story we used to tell
![Page 165: Telling the Story of Your School: Getting to the Heart of the Learning Business](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042602/55a0dc531a28ab325a8b4718/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
Where is the simplicity in all this complexity?

… for us, this quickly led to a whole bunch of of other questions: • How do we get a snapshot of the school on one page? • How do we gauge the health of the organisation? • How do we preserve our institutional memory? • How do we efficiently report to the Board? • How do we make best use of management meetings? • How does data link to our strategic planning? • How do we monitor progress across so many large projects? • What do we learn from best practice in other fields? • What are the key drivers that define great schools?
These are not necessarily the best questions. But they were our questions.

THE DATA DASHBOARD
2. An institutional memory
1. The School on one page
3. A common ‘script’
4. Focussed on KPIs

Analysis
1. Enrolment Trends
3. Demographic Trends
4. Student Achievement Trends

Back to the ‘so what’?
• Are we having better conversations?
• Are we more disciplined?
• Will anything change because we have the data?
• Are we agreed on the meaning and significance of this data?

Ten Lessons 1.Every data point should begin with a question. 2.Simplicity is essential. 3.The health of an organization is more than the sum of the parts. 4.Behind every graph there is a story waiting to be told. 5.Measuring learning is the hardest task of all. 6.Survey data is important feedback on how well we are living up to our Mission. 7.Data is increasingly important for school admissions. 8.A data dashboard can lead to better decision-making. 9.Data management is all about disciplined action. 10.Transparency is never a bad thing.

STORYTELLING
INNOVATION (TRADITION)
PARTNERSHIPS The school realises that they cannot afford to do everything that it wants but still no regular and strategic analysis of cost vs value; some partnerships are beginning to emerge but they remain ad hoc and outside of a broad schoolwide strategy; no one in the organisation is feels accountable for maintaining these relationships.
