Data Analysts at Catholic Schools
Beginning in 2025, the Office for Catholic Schools is requesting that all schools identify at least one “data analyst” or data leader in their school for the purpose of using NWEA MAP data effectively. In partnership with NWEA, the OCS will be providing on-going trainings for data analysts throughout the school year, as well as providing schools with more opportunities to showcase their students’ growth and academic achievement through targeted professional development and intentional regional collaboration.
All data analysts attend an in-person, post-testing training for each season with NWEA professional learning specialists taking place at St. Thomas Catholic Church, Tukwila, WA.
Fall Training: Thursday, October 22nd, 8:30am-11:30am -or- 12:00pm-3:00pm – REGISTER HERE
Winter Training: Thursday, February 25th, 8:30am-11:30am -or- 12:00pm-3:00pm (site TBD)
Spring Training: Thursday, June 3rd, 8:30am-11:30am -or- 12:00pm-3:00pm (site TBD)
All trainings will be at a site within the Archdiocese (usually in Tukwila, Bellevue or Federal Way) and each one will have a session taking place from 8:30-11:30am and then again from 12:00-3:00pm. The sessions will be identical – attendees will only have to attend one session either in the AM or PM but they must attend a session. Clock hours will be provided to participants. Each school is encouraged to send two participants to the trainings which will help with collaboration and support.
Registration is required – links will be available in the Keystone Newsletter one month prior to the trainings.
Furthermore, Katie Doyle, NWEA Catholic Schools specialist, will be holding three online training sessions for all teachers and administrators to answer questions about testing reports after each testing session throughout the school year. These online trainings will take place on:
- Wednesday, 10/14 – 3:30-4:30pm
- Wednesday, 2/24 – 3:30-4:30pm
- Wednesday, 6/02- 3:30-4:30pm
Clock hours will be provided for those attending synchronously. Resources will be available for these sessions.
