Sharing Data to Create Systemic Change
Eleanor Jones, Education Program Specialist, New Mexico Navajo Central Agency; Mark Kessler, Professional Development Specialist, NWEA
Fusion 2012, the NWEA summer conference in Portland, Oregon
In an effort to use collaborative inquiry to identify obstacles that are impeding the success of our children, our agency-wide professional learning community created a protocol for analyzing and sharing data. Our efforts have resulted in deep conversations about what we collectively think is impacting Dine’ student growth and the development of data-informed action plans. The systematic changes occurring are beginning to show positive impact on instructional practices and school procedures.
Learning outcome:
- Identify a process for analyzing and sharing data and relate this process to their own system
- Identify a structure and benefits for holding “deep data conversations” and relate these benefits to their own system
- Identify essential components of an action plan that is data-informed and reflect on creating a plan for their own school system
Audience:
- New data user
- Experienced data user
- Advanced data user
- District leadership
New Mexico Navajo Central Agency is an isolated district on the Diné (Navajo) Nation. Our agency serves 1500 K-8 students among 10 schools spread over 150 miles.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
