Coaches play a critical role in supporting the School Leadership Team (SLT) in their review of school-wide data within a continuous improvement process. Coaches use a Coach’s Checklist to help them prepare to support their teams. The checklist prompts the coach to carefully consider where the SLT should focus its attention (e.g., Tier 1 Behavior supports). The coach selects a specific Data Review Worksheet and Data Interpretation Tool(s) that match the team’s current focus for implementation. (See guidance below.) The coach’s checklists, worksheets, data interpretation tools, and additional resources can be found under Tools and Resources on the right-hand side of this page.

Under Tools and Resources on the right-hand side of this page, you will find multiple Data Review Worksheets and Data Interpretation Tools to choose from. Make sure the worksheet and tool(s) you select are a good match for the current focus for implementation in your building. For example, if your SLT is reviewing and selecting interventions and drafting guidance on how the school will implement Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports, but none (or very little) of this work has rolled out to your building yet and your staff is primarily focused on the school-wide implementation of Tier 1 supports, you will want to keep the focus of Data Review at Tier 1. This is an opportunity for the SLT to set aside its current installation work for a moment to check on what’s actually being implemented in the building.
