**Activity:**
 * Using Key Resources from Chapters 3 & 4 of the Data-Driven Dialogue Guidebook, answer the Essential Questions below with your group.**

**Answer these Essential Questions:**
 * 1) What are the key activities that the group engages in during this phase? (check out pgs. 46-47)
 * 2) Each group should write at least 3 responses to the question: "What data do we want to convey?" (Hint: do you want to disaggregate your data? If so, in what ways?)
 * 3) Remembering back to your prior use of DataDirector (and also feel free to login and refresh your memory), what pre-made reports (both rosters and aggregate reports) might be useful when you think about how to visually represent your data?
 * 4) What are some other data points that can help you enhance your understanding of your student's achievement data? Think about other sources of information that may be found in Zangle, information you've collected personally, qualitative data, etc.

Question 1 Response:
 * Ask questions like what is the most effective way to organize the data, in order to glean the important points. What is the focus while looking at the data? What are our goals? What tools will be most useful in looking at the data? Try to see new possibilities for how to organize the data. Framing possible problems and define new solutions.

Question 2 Response:
 * What are some patterns, categories or trends?
 * What surprised us?
 * What was unexpected?

Question 3 Response:
