2. Analyze your data…

3. What are you going to do next?
What was taught?
What went well?
What didn’t go well?
What are you going to do next?
The classroom data analysis we will go through today will help to answer these four questions. I will provide you with templates to help answer these questions.

4. Analyze your data… using the following framework to answer the guiding questions.

5. Item Analysis:
Kids’ names along the left
Kids’ answers to each question

6. Item Analysis Summary:
Each question’s point value
Each question’s standard (need to have the standard)
# of students answered correctly
Total Points = # of kids tested x’s Points column
% Correct = # Answered Correctly/Total Points

7. Standards Analysis:
Write the Standards Assessed on the left
Write the # of items that are assessing the standard
Points = # of points earned by ALL students on the items assessed within the standard
Possible Total = # of points possible on ALL items assessed within the standard
% Possible = Points / Possible Total
