Data Analysis

Shiawassee County Schools have been very involved in using data as the basis for school improvement and student achievement decisions. In an effort to assure their decision making is based on the most up-to-date data, every district in Shiawassee County has a data warehouse that includes demographic, achievement, and process data. Districts can access their data warehouse through the universal link below. This is a password accessible site.

MDE Continuous Improvement Website

Over the past several years the Michigan Department of Education has attempted to bring together the various federal and state requirements for school improvement into one place so schools can speak with a common vision and a common language.  The result of these efforts is One Voice - One Plan.  It is the intent of the Department that school improvement is a continuous process, not a one-time event.  The School Improvement Plan is intended to be the vehicle that drives the continuous improvement process.

This process cycle provides the foundation to address school improvement and promote student achievement through a comprehensive and systemic approach consisting of the following main tasks:

1. Gather - Collect Data and Build School Profile
2. Study - Analyze Data, Set Goals and Objectives
3. Plan - Develop an Improvement Plan
4. Do - Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate this Plan

Online training modules for each of the main tasks have been developed and are available at Michigan Virtual.

These training materials and resources were developed in collaboration with Michigan Department of Education, AdvancED Michigan, and Intermediate School Districts/Regional Educational Service Agencies.  Their time and support is deeply appreciated.

Shiawassee RESD provides on-going professional development facilitated by RESD MTSS staff to assist building teams in problem solving training sessions (3 full days) Demographic, Perception, and Achievement (Process data addressed at each session for teams to analyze their data and work on school data profile, Program Evaluations, and District/School Improvement Plans.
