Learning and Support

Our vision for CSU’s Colleges and Schools of Education is a system where every Educator Preparation Program has a sustained and institutionalized approach to data use that:

1. Promotes an inquiry orientation to data use
2. Provides a data infrastructure and coherent set of systems that enables access to high-quality measures that support continuous improvement goals and processes.
3. Establishes routines and norms for collaborative data conversations
4. Grounds improvement efforts in short cycles of data collection and evaluation

Navigating the demands of accountability and accreditation while building a coherent data infrastructure and a culture of continuous improvement can be challenging for any leader or leadership team. The EdQ Team​ offers consultation, coaching and facilitation to EPPs in the following areas:

• Dashboard introduction for first-time users
• Guided inquiry of campus results focused on specific topics of interest
• Launching and supporting continuous improvement cycles using DataView and other data sources.
• Individual coaching for leaders planning data conversations

Helping a newly-formed team or group achieve an improvement aim is challenging work requiring a mix of improvement content, coaching, and associated resources. Using the tools and frameworks of Improvement Science, EdQ provides campus technical assistance supporting the launch and development of a small number of high-priority local improvement efforts. EdQ also connects a growing community of EPP faculty and staff engaged in improvement efforts to one another, building a common, system-wide set of improvement tools and resources.​​
 

EdQ also convenes and supports several networks addressing system-wide improvement goals. See Systemwide Initiatives​ for more information about these groups.​​
