As former school administrators, we respect our clients' time and intelligence. We refrain from the one-size-fits-all approach of national consultant companies. We believe that districts perform best with customized reports that reference their specific population as it interacts with their state's NCLB regulations and with their state's specific exams.
We provide services such as assessment, research, program evaluation, project management, training and professional development for education or skills acquisition projects. Examples of specific projects include...
Test and survey development, computer analysis and interpretation of state, national, normed, benchmark and local exams.
Papers, power-point presentations, and web-based interactive reports for staff and administrators. Professional development regarding data-driven decision-making and insights into analysis of assessment or survey data.
Evaluations: Team conducts multi-factor, multi-user program evaluations highlighting what aspects of a program are working (or not) for which populations within specific venues. Includes full report, power-point and interactive database reports.
Datagoodies provides expertise in SAS, SPSS, MS Office including Excel macros and VBA and other applications such as Scantron document design, scanning, and analysis.
Interactive data reports illustrate appropriate grouping to target interventions for students with similar patterns of performance. Patterns of achievement for a classroom or school are compared with the pattern exhibited by the district as a whole. Students current performance is informed by data from the previous year.
