I need a massage. The muscles in my neck and back have seized, and make it impossible to look over my shoulder. Driving may be a little interesting today. It took me a little while, but I think I've discovered the reason (besides the hours I've logged on a keyboard since school started.) I am gritting my teeth again.
I've spent the last couple of weeks helping people (read: administrators) review data and statistics.
Please no one repeat the quote "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." Just because you don't like the raw data, doesn't mean that it lies. (Commence gritting while I craft an appropriate response that pushes thinking instead of ending dialogue...) There's the distinct possibility that what you think is happening might not, in actuality, be happening. If you really want to know what's going on, ask the teachers. They know the issues, and can develop solutions that really work for them AND their students.
Or we can spend a lot of time and energy admiring the problem. We're pretty good at that...
It always comes back to collaboration.
