2. Different Levels of Data
What have we
done in our
schools
at each
level?

3. Agenda Show what can be done with preliminary data
Focus our work today on Evidence Tables in Math and Language Arts.

4. How to Organize Preliminary Data Using On Demand Reports
Log into
Choose the correct year
Go to Reports
Make test selection
You have to limit field to 500 test.
Click on Printer Icon
Choose Excel File

5. Creating a Pivot Table Highlight all students (click left most corner)
“Create Pivot Table”
You can now manipulate data
Let’s try it…
We can go back to this data to make it more useful.

6. What are Evidence Tables and Evidence Statements?
Evidence Statement Tables and Evidence Statements describe the knowledge and skills that an assessment item or a task elicits from students. These are aligned directly to the standards.

7. Sample Evidence Table

8. What does the student need to know?
Try and build
a problem
Based on
description.

10. Check out a sample item
What could this process look like in a
school?

11. MATERIALS NEEDED TO DO THIS WORK

This is the data teachers come with.  If not, have spare data to use or participants can work with a partner.

12. Let’s Dive into an Evidence Table
What should we look at?

13. Looking deeper at the problem.
What did I do well in?
What do I need to do to improve?
You try it.

14. Now dig into what is required
What’s the next step?

15. What Are Performance-Level Descriptors?
Performance level descriptors (PLDs) indicate what a typical student at each level should be able to demonstrate based on his/her command of grade-level standards.

16. What Are Performance-Level Descriptors?
In other words, they describe the knowledge, skills, and practices that students should know and be able to demonstrate at each performance level in each content area (ELA/L and mathematics), and at each grade level/course.

17. Math Performance-Level Descriptors
PARCC reports results according to five performance levels that delineate the knowledge, skills, and practices students are able to demonstrate:
Level 1: Did not yet meet expectations
Additional support is needed to meet expectations in the next course
Level 2: Partially met expectations
Level 3: Approached expectations
Level 4: Met expectations
On track for the next course
Level 5: Exceeded expectations
Academically well prepared to engage successfully in further studies in the subclaim content area and may need instructional enrichment.

18. Now let’s work through your data
Pick a standard.
What is it that the students need to know?
See if there is a sample problem.
Check progress using PLD.
How do we teach it?

19. Next steps:
Use this sight to hold vertical articulation grade level meetings:
Continue to dig down into your curriculum.
Look forward to deeper reporting on individual students this year.

20. Let’s Repeat with Language Arts.
What should we look at?
Feel free to utilize your data.

21. ELA Evidence Statements
Look up the statement.

22. Now break down the student expectations.
It’s important to look at everything the student is required to do.

23. Look at a sample problem.

24. Use the Performance Level Descriptors
