Building a Culture of Data Quality

Activity Videos

The Training Manual provides detailed lesson plans for six activities designed to help a district build a culture of data quality. Each activity includes information about presenter preparation and presentation strategies. Videos for selected activities are intended to supplement that information for presenters. The videos contain vignettes which allow a presenter to see how the activity actually plays out when implemented.

The video was obtained during actual implementation in the Canby School District. Special thanks go out to the students from Ackerman Middle School who operated the cameras and sound recording devices. We also want to thank the fine people in Canby who were willing to be taped during their meetings.

Component 1: The Need for Data Quality

Activity 1: Establishing the need for data quality

Video: The PowerPoint presentation is fully captured in this video. Presenters may elect to use this video in lieu of doing the presentation themselves.

Component 2: Building a Culture of Data Quality

Activity 2: Data, data, data. Who’s got your data?

Video: A short PowerPoint presentation is fully captured in this video. Following the presentation, short vignettes show how to lead the activity and discussion.

Activity 3: District and school analysis

Video: This activity involves two groups completing a self-assessment from a school and from a district perspective. The video captures the instructions given prior to the rock-paper-scissors activity. Each group needs a facilitator to lead the activity. The vignettes capture samples of how facilitate the group discussion in key situations. This video should be seen by group facilitators prior to the activity.

Activity 4: Data steward responsibilities

Video: This video captures vignettes of the discussions generated by the self-assessments completed in the prior activity. Although each district will be unique in their survey results, some issues can be commonly expected to arise. Viewing the video will allow presenters to see how one district used the activity to build a beginning point for future work.
