MAKING MEANING OF DATA SESSION<br />
Once you have planned the process of making meaning of data, you are ready to host your session. The<br />
making meaning of data session includes two parts: review and reflect on data and plan with your<br />
data. We estimate that the meeting can take a total of 2-3 hours, depending on the size of your group.<br />
If that much time at once is not a realistic for your team, you can accomplish each of these steps in<br />
separate mini-sessions. The sections below give you an estimate of how long it would take to accomplish<br />
each step, but remember that you can customize the sections, depending on your team. See A Closer<br />
Look: MMOD Session Sample Agenda for a more detailed agenda you can share with your team as<br />
they prepare.<br />
REVIEW AND REFLECT ON YOUR DATA INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A TEAM<br />
Review of Reporting Format (10 min)<br />
An important part of making meaning of data is to understand each tool and the data it provides (see<br />
Digging Deeper: Understanding and Using <strong>CDLI</strong> Assessment Tools for a detailed description of each tool<br />
used in <strong>CDLI</strong>). Every team member should have access to the reports and review them independently,<br />
whether that is before the session or at the beginning of the session. Share data reports either via a link<br />
or printed copies. As a group, review what was measured in the data reports and why it was collected.<br />
Review the research questions you set out to answer and what information the reports provide. Be<br />
sure participants fully understand the layout of the reports, where to find data sources, and how the<br />
data is represented.<br />
