**Objective:**
 * After completing this wiki page, participants will understand Phase 3 of the Data-Driven Dialogue Model and how to apply it in a collaborative team meeting.**

**Activity:**
 * Using Key Resources from Chapters 3 & 4 of the Data-Driven Dialogue Guide answer the essential questions below.**

**Answer these Essential Questions:**
 * 1) What are the key activities that the group engages in during this phase (you'll probably find pgs. 47-48 to be useful)?
 * 2) Think about your explorations of student achievement data in the past, particularly when you felt it was productive exercise. What are some inferences, explorations, and conclusions you've drawn from the data? (please describe at least 1 actual scenario)
 * 3) Why is it good to explore multiple theories about student outcomes?

Question 1 Response:
 * look for trends in the data
 * find multiple representations of the data to choose which makes most sense for finding the information you want to see
 * looking for multiple conclusions
 * Try to look from multiple perspectives
 * ask insightful questions to reframe thinking
 * persevere
 * distinguishing, sorting, analyzing, comparing/contrasting -- NOT explaining

Question 2 Response:
 * daily informal data guides instruction most often
 * collaborative moments of "this worked/this didn't"
 * We were doing something right. We were doing something wrong.

Question 3 Response:
 * It is important to entertain/explore multiple theories regarding the data because we are limited in our own perspectives and we may not "see" something that someone else does see. Working collaboratively expands the possibilities for what we can learn from the data.
