This exercise asks you first to search your soul for those values and beliefs of your leadership life that are most
important to you. • Next, you are asked to outline positive actions and tasks
that you already do and could do to will support you in carrying out those beliefs.
• Second, you are asked to come to grips with any negative actions that detract from your capacity to lead in alignment with your beliefs.
• So how do you lead through the detractions?(Special note: we cannot always completely come to grips with this one, but it has caused each of us to grapple with many of our own actions and attitudes!)

Tale of Two Schools
WHICH SCHOOL IS YOURS?
Organizing data use around essential questions about student performance is a powerful strategy for building data literacy.
Consider the following questions: • What is your data telling you?• What is happening to black students in your school?• What is happening to LEP students in your school?• Look at all of your groups... What is happening?• What is going well with your data? • Do you know why certain populations in your school is doing
well?• What is not going well with your data and do you know why?
YOUR DATA…THE ESSENTIAL-QUESTIONS APPROACH
Share you data with your PLC team members...
• Pass your data to each member of your PLC and ensure everyone in your PLC has seen everyone’s data.
Now each of you answer the questions aboutyour data to your PLC members ...
• What is going well with your data? • Do you know why certain populations in your school is doing
well?• What is not going well with your data and do you know why?
YOUR DATA…THE ESSENTIAL-QUESTIONS APPROACH
-
As school leaders ... How do your moral imperative and school
results align?What are your next steps?
Think about this independently?What action will you take that will move
you toward your moral imperative?
