Outcomes To discuss district report card status. To examine PAWS data reports. To analyze reading and math standards at individual grade and individual student level. To discuss the use of additional data utilized K-12.

It’s All About Numbers... On the index card, write three numbers between 0 and 10. Numbers mean different things to different people. Don’t change everything based on one piece of data.

Assessment Continuum Pre-Assessment Discovering Summative/Final Assessment Making Sure Formative Assessment Checking Up

Formative Assessment: Formal and informal processes teachers and students use to gather evidence for the purpose of improving learning. Summative Assessment: Assessments that provide evidence of student achievement for the purpose of making a judgment about student competence or program effectiveness.

It isn’t the method that determines whether the assessment is summative or formative… …it is how the results are used.

Cut Scores

On the back of your ‘Three Numbers Index Card’, identify one group of students you feel needs special attention.

Birthday line-up Grab any materials you have received. Quickly and quietly, get in line according to your birthday: January birthdays at one end, December at the other. Finally, we will get into groups of 3.
