It connects back with the idea of “intersectionality” and
the idea of collecting the data but analyzing it on a scale of more than one
factor I think would give us more meaningful data. Also collecting qualitative
data and allowing the students to give their own voice is something I have not
heard of before. I feel like so much data is collected based solely on the
scores of a test, some numerical measurement. I think we use a lot of “forms”
and surveys when we are talking to teachers about how they feel, but a lot of
the data we get about students comes from test scores, suspension rates, or
some other quantitative measure.
