What Is A Data Wall? A means to look at past performance. Trend identifier. A way to plan future assistance tracks for students. (RtI) A method to share with others (collaborate) the strategies that are working for your students. An organizational tool.

Why Are Data Walls Important? They allow us to.... easily identify specific areas of student need. collaborate with others to share and learn about new strategies. share our success with team members and/or the school’s faculty. foster mutual responsibility for student success.

Why Should We Use Data Walls? They help us to better understand the individual student. stand back and look at the BIG PICTURE. MEET THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT (RtI)

Elements Of A Good Data Wall? The teacher’s name, grade level and academic subject. Student data - prior year, term or assessment. Observation of student data. SMART Goal. Intervention plan and schedules if applicable. Intervention data - How are things progressing? Conclusion statement - Is the intervention showing results?

How Can I Use This Portable Data Wall? Take it to all PLC meetings. Show effectiveness of strategies. Continuous collaboration with team members to consider other strategies. Keeps you current on the pulse of student achievement. To share with others at my school what is working, or has worked, for me or the team.

It Is Important To Remember that the data wall is not created for the purpose of impressing other teachers, the principal or the superintendent.....it is a vehicle to share information with your colleagues.....it is a means to collaborate and share best practices.....they do not have to be ‘pretty’.
