= **__Instructional Technology Resource Teachers: Using Data for Instructional Decision Making__** =

Technology tools can assist teachers and school leadership teams in collecting data to improve instruction. Without technology, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to collect, analyze, and report all of the data necessary to ensure you are meeting the needs of every student in your school. As a school leader and change agent yourself, you can play a critical role in helping your teachers implement and monitor change.

Many school leaders and teachers will turn to you for help with the technologies they use to collect and analyze data. As an ITRT, it is NOT your role to run data reports; however, you may want to help train staff in your school to use technologies to collect, analyze, and report data.

As a TEACHER, you focus on INSTRUCTION. All teachers must be able to use data to understand the effectiveness of instruction and to determine areas of need for student learning. As an ITRT, a unique kind of teacher, you are indispensible when it comes to identifying instructional technology that might be appropriate for meeting the needs you and your colleagues identify. And since this technology can be considered change, you can help to develop the system to implement and monitor that change effort.
