Summary of Keystone Data What do these scores tell you about the students’ achievement and growth? In the absence of value-added (PVAAS) data it is very difficult to draw conclusions. To what do you attribute the areas of strengths and needs represented by these data? Teachers are effectively implementing the curriculum and many students are able to access the curriculum. How will you ensure that the areas of strength are maintained and areas of need are addressed/remedied? Analyzing multiple measures of student data (demographics, achievement, perception, and school process) to drive decision-making.

What is the difference between the ACT and SAT? The ACT is an achievement test, measuring what a student has learned in school. The SAT is more of an aptitude test, testing reasoning and verbal abilities. The ACT has up to 5 components: English, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and an optional Writing Test. The SAT has only 3 components: Critical Reasoning, Mathematics, and a required Writing Test. The SAT has a correction for guessing. That is, they take off for wrong answers. The ACT is scored based on the number of correct answers with no penalty for guessing. The ACT has an Interest Inventory that allows students to evaluate their interests in various career options. http://www.actstudent.org/faq/actsat.html
