The purpose of this project has been to understand how leadership and staff at the school, complex area, and state level of the Hawaii State Department of Education have implemented the Action-Oriented Data Decision-making strategy and the impact the strategy has had on perceptions of data use and analysis.  Through one-on-one interviews with staff at all three levels, researchers compared the various processes and procedures employed to collect, analyze and use data to inform instructional practice.  The goal of this project has been to assist HIDOE in understanding how these data processes have been learned, communicated, and implemented in order to share promising practices and improve sustainable process development and implementation procedures.
