AGENDA

Using Data to Make Instructional Decisions Assessment and progress monitoring data provide the answers to the critical questions listed below. Because the answers to these questions have such important implications, they should be based on objective data. 1. ARE WE MEETING OUR GOALS? – Did we do better this year than last year? – Is our core curriculum and instruction working for most students? 2. HOW DO WE MATCH INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES TO EDUCATIONAL NEEDS? -Which children need additional resources to be successful? -Which children need which skills? 3. HOW WELL IS INTERVENTION/INSTRUCTION WORKING? -Is instruction working for some groups but not others? -Is intervention effective?
