Using Data: Best Practices
Strategic use of content focus reports is a must.
Students need to OWN their data- assessment should not be just a grade.
Data Chats should NOT be whole group- it should be a conversation with each student individually- maximum time needed: 3 minutes per student.
Bob- Wrap Up- 2 minutes.

17. Students are unaware of their data- teachers do not share.
