Building a Data Committee
Your district or organization will create or establish a committee based on Compass recommendations and insights.
MEANINGFUL DATA COLLECTION
DataSmart Processes
Our DataSmart process is all about turning data into action. We start by creating dedicated teams and then dive into collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. Next, we host engaging data retreats, where, over one or two days, we break down the data in a clear and easy-to-understand format to help guide your goal-setting and action plans. To keep things on track, we provide monthly check-ins and follow-up retreats to review progress and make adjustments as new insights emerge, ensuring you’re always moving in the right direction.
The Compass Approach to Assessment
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF DISTRICT SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS (CADS)
CADS comprehensively evaluates district special education systems, including student performance, culture, leadership, teacher efficacy, and instructional practices. This process yields comprehensive reports that drive data-informed decision-making and strategic goal-setting. Compass supports over forty districts annually through facilitated analysis sessions and ongoing coaching to ensure the effective implementation of improvement plans.
COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CNA)
Our Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) helps schools and organizations identify critical gaps and opportunities within their systems. By strategically aligning resources and interventions, we empower institutions to address specific stakeholder needs and enhance overall educational outcomes. Our customizable approach ensures that data gathering and analysis are tailored to reflect the unique challenges and priorities of each district or organization.
