2.8 Data Analysis
Candidates model and facilitate the effective use of digital tools and resources to systematically collect and analyze student acievement data, interpret results, communicate findings, and implement appropriate interventions to instructional practice and maximize student learning.
Artifacts: Data Overview
Reflection:
The Data Overview goes through the results of the CRCT and compare from the previous years. The results are from grades
3rd, 4th, and 5th in Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. The comparisons are between each subgroup and year to see where the gap needs to be bridged. Also, the results compare the school with the district and state to see how the students measure from the test.
The Data Overview does through the data and interprets results to see how the students compared within the school, the district, and state. It also lists the possible strategies that need to take place to close the gap between two subgroups for each grade level. Overall, this presentation can be updated every year to compare the past four or five years.
I learned that looking for testing results can be challenging when some of the results are still pending from the state testing.
I would try to predict the results of the 2011 to see if it matched the official results. Overall the prediction of not meeting the Annual Yearly Progress was correct.
This artifact showed that I was able to independently analyze the school achievement data. The data analysis was the same as the data the district gave to my principal. This impact allows me to forsee the future status of AYP and instructional needs before the new school year begins and months before the report is offically released by the district. This allows my school to develop an improvement plan in advance for the teachers to implement the plan much earlier than in previous years. In theory, this should result to increase achievement in the areas where students need to improve.
