Data Toolkit: Looking at Collected Data

This was a lot to take in.  I found the Wagon Wheel to be confusing and I am not sure how I would use this unless I was comparing things like attendance, behaviors, scores in subject areas.  Even so I did not find it helpful.  Maybe I just cant quite figure it out.  I was feeling that the 5 Whys could work well with classroom reflection on test scores or strategies for improving written responses.  Whenever I ask kids to come up with questions I am amazed by their insight and find that they are concerned and look at their work differently than I had even considered.  I find student reflection to be incredibly helpful.  I believe that the Relations Diagram would be a great way to work out a staff issue at a meeting.  It gives everyone the ability to provide input and that helps everyone own the data, the issue, the solution.  Interesting chapters.
