26. Next Steps How does the faculty and administration use this data?
As a district, what data do we decide to focus on?
Types of data and analysis:
- District and grade level data
- Individual student data
- Student-level analysis
- Item analysis

27. Year four Data Plan: Drilling Down
District and School Level Data: Math, ELA, reading and writing, and also by grade levels
Disaggregated data, by subgroups
Disaggregated data by categories, (i.e., standards sub-claims)
Item analysis
Student-level analysis

28. Examples of Data and analysis-Disaggregated data by subgroups

29. Example- Item Analysis

30. Item Analysis-continued

31. Student-Level Analysis
Student-level analysis has already begun with our teachers whose students take the PARCC assessment. Preliminary meetings regarding the results on the spring 2018 assessment took place in August and early September.
Analysis of student scores from last year’s assessment; this includes strengths and weaknesses of 2018 students and current students. This includes a deeper look at how past students performed and the instructional needs of current students.
Analysis of items so that trends regarding performance can be determined.
