Promoting Equity: Data-driven decision-making can help to promote equity in the school community. By using data to inform decision-making, school administrators can make informed decisions that are equitable and inclusive.
Supporting Teacher Professional Development: Data-driven decision-making can support teacher professional development. School administrators who use data to inform their decisions can provide training and support to teachers to help them implement effective practices in the classroom.
Facilitating Continuous Improvement: Data-driven decision-making can facilitate continuous improvement in the school community. By using data to inform decision-making, school administrators can identify areas for improvement, evaluate the effectiveness of current practices, and make informed decisions to support student success.

Overall, school administrators who understand data-driven decision-making can create a school culture that promotes student success, teacher well-being, and community involvement. Effective data-driven decision-making can improve student achievement, meet diverse student needs, promote equity, support teacher professional development, and facilitate continuous improvement in the school community.
