Lap Books

Lap books are a big hit in the classroom. I use them at the end of the year for EOG preparation. When my classes are ready to review, we begin to construct Unit Lap Books for all Units. We review by creating a foldable , drawing diagrams, graphs etc., for each unit.

This hands on exploration allows your students to review and prepare while they are visually and kinesthetically engaged. Students are not even aware they are in EOG preparation mode.

This tool allows my students to have a unified study guide with everything they need in hands reach to assist their goal in mastery of all objectives.

Using Data to increase EOG preparationMaria Caras

Data Collection

While analyzing data is important  to look for what needs to be done for improving outcomes.

Changes should be made in instruction providing enrichment and academic intervention when necessary .

Using Data

Give pretest and record results for baseline data. After teaching a standard, quiz students on standard. Record and chart results.

Using Data (con)

After  results have been recorded, go back and decide if the objective/standard is a high, medium, or low priority for their students.

A plan of action can be determined for the class and for individual students. The data will decide how to use instructional time effectively.  ( whole group vs. small group) Retest and record results until desired achievement level is obtained.   Test again at a later date to ensure mastery.

Classroom Data Board

Give small assessments weekly to measure students’ progress. Record information onto a data sheet, chart and/or graph for the entire class.  This

information can be displayed in the classroom.   Have contests with classes.   Reward success.

Schoolnet

Schoolnet  breaks down performance by standard while providing links to related reports, which work the same for both Classroom and Benchmark tests.

Schoolnet gives an overall picture and helps group students based on strengths and weaknesses on tested standards.

Student Data Folders

Students are given copies of standards and I can statements. Students are responsible for charting their progress for each standard that is

assessed. Students are given the opportunity to reflect  becoming more accountable for their

own learning. Students are motivated when they see improvement.
