How to use Classroom Assessment Data

All assessments should be aligned to the standards (we will convert them to alignment with CCSS over the next year or 2)

Questions should be able to be tracked by standard for proficiency

Develop a way of monitoring student results by standard so you know what concepts, standards to either re-teach or spiral in during other units

Collaborate with colleagues on scoring practices, results, next steps, instructional strategies, etc.

Time to Play

Consider your data and what you would like to accomplish

Set one instructional goal with your data for quarter 1

How will you know you met your goal? Never use one data point as your only

evidence What can we do to support you?

Data for Instructional Practice Overarching Guidelines

Students and teacher set goals for unit assessment (growth)

Establish a Baseline understanding of whereyour students are currently performing (pretest) Differentiate instruction based upon that information Formative assessment/instruction cycle Post Assess (still can be formative) Provide opportunities for proficiency Students and teacher analyze performance and growth

Use best practices around instruction and assessment

Establish Learning Targets

Establish Criteria for how you will know they learned it and your assessment plan both formative and summative

Pre-Asses

Design and implement Instruction

Provide Feedback to Students

Formative Assessment

Post Assessment

Possible Evaluation Reteach if necessary

Assessment can be projects, presentations, written, oral, products,

etc.
