Informing Practice
Reaching and exceeding our high standards requires that we use multiple data sources daily. Some ways in which HISD uses data to inform our practice are:
- Analyzing longitudinal trend data across departments
- Holding ourselves accountable in achieving goals by using scorecards and other information to monitor, measure, and improve performance
- Collecting and analyzing input and feedback to ensure that our stakeholders are satisfied with our service
- Collaborating through professional networks to determine and share best practices
- Gathering detailed school-performance data comparing HISD schools to high-performing schools with best-in-class practices nationwide
- Interpreting value-added analysis and achievement data to accelerate student progress
 | HISD is committed to offering the necessary support to bolster our employees’ efforts to use various information sources to guide their practices. |
