A shared emphasis of these networks is the use of data to support the improvement process, but little is known about their data use in practice. This study takes an in-depth look at the 800+ data artifacts created and used in a single focal network’s 3rd year, applying a mixed methods case study design. The findings show that while data artifacts are predominantly created to support the improvement process, they are frequently used for relationship management as network hub members navigate the sociopolitical dynamics typical of a complex change effort – if they are used at all. The study has implications for practitioners as they decide what data artifacts to create and use, as well as for researchers’ theory building about productive data use in improvement efforts.KEYWORDS: Improvement networksimprovement sciencecontinuous improvementdata use Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Ethical approvalEthical approval was obtained for this project from the University of Pittsburgh’s IRB: STUDY18120016.Data availability statementData not available – participant consent: The participants of this study did not give written consent for their data to be shared publicly, so due to the sensitive nature of the research, supporting data are not available.Notes1 The Networks for School Improvement Initiative was launched by the Gates foundation in 2018 to support organizations bringing together and serving as intermediaries for networks of middle and high schools. These networks work together to improve high school graduation and college success rates for their Black and Latino students and students experiencing poverty through the use of continuous improvement methods, proven indicators of future student outcomes, and unwavering commitment to equity (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Citationn.d.). To date, the initiative has supported the formation and operation of over 40 networks for school improvement.2 The first and second authors of this study were both researchers in the focal network’s hub team, which afforded access to network information and special insight into network functioning. The first author was a graduate research assistant who joined the focal network in its 3rd year and continued as a network member through the end of the network’s 5th and final year. The second author was involved with the network from its initiation, serving as a faculty member affiliated with one of the research centers.3 Network hubs engage in a number of key processes associated with organizing and operating a high-functioning networked improvement community. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has a framework for describing these hub functions, such as site-level improvement routines and capacity building.4 For 63","PeriodicalId":47698,"journal":{"name":"School Effectiveness and School Improvement","volume":"121 37","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These involve trained professionals visiting schools and reaching a high-stakes judgement about the quality of education they provide. By their nature, school inspections rely upon professional judgement, with different inspectors potentially putting more emphasis on certain areas than others. Yet there is currently little academic evidence investigating the consistency of school inspections, including how judgements vary across inspectors with different characteristics. We present new empirical evidence on this matter, drawing upon data from more than 30,000 school inspections conducted in England between 2011 and 2019. Male inspectors are found to award slightly more lenient judgements to primary schools than their female counterparts, while permanent Ofsted employees (Her Majesty’s Inspectors) are found to be harsher than those who inspect schools on a freelance basis (Ofsted Inspectors).","PeriodicalId":47698,"journal":{"name":"School Effectiveness and School Improvement","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44498318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
