2. Data, Our GPS
It Tells us where our students were and what they still need if they are to reach their learning destination.
Not only do teachers have a clear idea of students’ academic needs, but students themselves also know where they stands.
It shows us our current reality.
Determining what students need and working together to provide direction are the keys to our
county’s success!

3. As you look at your data you need to ask yourself three critical questions…are you ….KEEPING UP?....CATCHING UP?...or FALLING BEHIND?

21. Delving into the Data Toolkit
Begin looking at your data…. What is the data telling you? What might need further investigation? The questions spark the conversation about the data which is the key to understanding the data. When we question data, we should be trying to answer two questions: What do I see in the data? What questions do I have about what I see in the the data? You are trying to determine the possible ROOT CAUSES for the data.
Root causes are those deeper underlying causes.
Root Cause Analysis…
What happened?
How did it happen?
Why did it happen?
What can be done to prevent it from happening again?
System Thinking…mission ….vision… core beliefs
Key Indicators of student success…student focused measurable results
Databased decision making…
Root Cause Analysis

22. Martinsburg High Diagonal
The diagonal gives you two pictures…Vertically, you are looking at same grade different groups of students and diagonally, you are looking at same students different grades….
Questions you might ask on with this chart…vertically…if you are consistently seeing the same weaknesses each year….could it be an instructional issue…curriculum issue???
Look at your Standards diagonal discuss with assistant …..celebrations and possible areas of concern…
Discuss the Reading/Writing
Diagonally…Is a particular subgroup of students who are consistently showing areas of concern.

23. What can we pull from these two pieces of data?
What is the biggest portion of your pie chart telling you? Remember the numbers reflect students…Putting the Faces on the data….How did you accomplish this last year???
Bar Graph…Catching up…Keeping Up…Falling Behind???

24. Confidential Item Analysis
Common Core vs Westest…Do NOT have TIME NOT to teach the Common Core…It is our curriculum….
Times Tested…focus on 2012 objectives for this years Westest…
DOK…Social Studies

25. Writing
The numbers on the chart reflect the percent of students who scored a 4, 5, or 6 in each analytic trait….Looking vertically shows you the performance in each trait for that year…Looking horizontally shows you trend data over time the consistent weakness.
The mean percent correct reflects percent of students who scored 1-6; however the chart overall reflects 4, 5, and 6’s…
