Organizing a Data Notebook Goal Summaries Percentage of Days to Emphasize Released EOG as a guide to formulate questions for classroom assessments Thinking Skills Sheet On each assessment put what thinking skills are used. Achievement levels from DPI Each class roster, broken down in math and ELA with EOG scores and levels Discovery Assessment Successmaker Reports Star Reading / Math Summaries Classroom Assessments High level assessments Objective, ratio and percent passing Individual Student Reports - Star Reading / Math Diagnostic Reports

Organize the Data Classroom AYP Subgroups Sheet Write the names of your students. Check whether or not student was in attendance by September 24, Strike through the names of students who weren’t enrolled by September 24. Those students do not count towards AYP. For each student that counts towards AYP, place a tally mark under each subgroup for which the student is classified. Highlight the columns that are subgroups for your school. Total the number of times each student counts towards AYP.

Prioritize Remember: Sept. 24 was the 140 th day prior to EOG testing dates. Look at your data to determine how many students you need to pass in order to make Safe Harbor. Remember: Safe Harbor means you have to reduce your failing rate by at least 10% Identify bubble children of those that count. (Meaning high 2’s and low 3’s)

Why Data Driven Instruction? Processes involved can help teachers align content to standards. Information can help teachers identify best instructional strategies. Information can help teachers determine areas for instructional emphasis. Proven to improve student performance!

What To Do With Benchmarks Sample Activities Next week will be spent using the benchmark data to re-teach objectives that have been taught yet not mastered. Please provide specific strategies/activities that you will use in order to move your students toward mastery of these objectives before you make plans to move to new ones. The benchmark questions should be addressed and reasoned through in whole group (note the incorrect answer data provided in test analysis documents). Teachers of Reading will use (as one resource) the Storyworks magazines – specifically the “Monsters of the Everglades,” “Porlock” and the yesterday and today selection. Please include these lessons in the appropriate cell in the planning grid below. These “plans” will replace regular lesson plans for next week and are due by Monday morning.
