About Us
The mission of the Assessment, Data, and Evaluation team is to promote data-driven improvement and decision-making that enables students and staff to reach their potential. This work is guided by the principles of collaborative inquiry to facilitate action within each phase of the continuous improvement cycle.
  • Planning: Developing data-based action plans and goal (target) setting.
  • Data Collection: Collecting data through assessments and data information systems, which includes data organization, storage, interoperability, and communication.
  • Data Analysis: Facilitating data access, analysis, and reporting.
  • Evaluation: Supporting the interpretation of data and informing actions and improvement.
Vision for Data Usage:
  • Define and promote key measures of performance that are aligned with district initiatives and well understood by leaders at all levels.
  • Facilitate a consistent and intentional inquiry process throughout DMPS, building the skills to leverage data in supporting student performance and equity.
  • Improve data access while maintaining security and consistency so staff at all levels have the information they need.
  • Embed continuous evaluation into the DMPS culture, evaluating both implementation and outcomes.
