Just an update on my work:

Over the last year, I’ve spent significant time developing a behavior data tool for the principals of Minneapolis Public Schools. We developed the tool because it was one a of a few areas where MPS principals could use feedback from the data (not because we were federally mandated to do it — although other people in the district might think this). A bunch of people had been inputting this data, these were mostly school’s Behavior Deans and Assistant Principals. Almost nobody was reflecting on that information, so we thought a behavior tool was a prime opportunity for reflection and a change in practices.

The data was on everyone’s fingertips, so the district decided to publish parts of it on it’s website.  It was even covered in the Southwest Journal.

Now the public has access to some of the data, but I believe that we should reveal even more information about the district to the public.
