About the Department
The goal of the program is to create high levels of data literacy at each school site and across district level teams. On a foundational level, this begins with making sure that the right data is in the system for teams to use. As BUSD aligns various systems to ensure that data is available and visible (within eduCLIMBER), BREA focuses on supporting teams in accessing this data to assess which programs or actions are most positively impacting levels of student learning and achievement.
In order to provide data and analysis to support decision-making to support student success, the current research, evaluation, and assessment department supports:
- Systematic support with screening, diagnostic, and summative assessments for grades K-12.
- Progress Monitoring for Tiers 1, 2, and 3
- Using Data to determine intervention and instructional needs
- Response to Intervention professional development and professional learning communities Tk-5 and 6-8
- Development of MTSS systems: Differentiation & Interventions in Tier 2 and 3
- EduClimber trainings, support: creation of intervention groups, inputting data for progress monitoring, and decision making
- Use of qualitative and quantitative data to determine if programs are meeting district goals.
- Using data-driven decision-making to optimize resources, improve educational outcomes, and ensure accountability
