Effective [Data Coaches] are key to the long-term sustainability of the Using Data Process.

—Zuman, 2006, p. 12

Chances are there is no one at your school or the schools you work with right now who is officially known as a Data Coach. This is a new role that is emerging as schools become more focused on using their data effectively to improve results. One of the most important findings from the four years of implementing the Using Data Process in schools across the country is that Data Coaches are the linchpin of successful collaborative inquiry. Without them, participating schools would not have achieved the gains in student learning, the increase in collaboration and data use, the instructional improvement, or the changes in the school culture.

Data Coach: An education leader who guides Data Teams through the process of collaborative inquiry and influences the culture of schools to be one in which data are used continuously, collaboratively, and effectively to improve teaching and learning.
