Common Core Standards

Data, data, data!

program, which is based

on student reading

achievement in grades K-5.

Year 1 2008-2009

Summer Data Retreats based on WKCE Facilitated by Kris Wells, KPS Principal Analyzed WKCE data Developed goals and objectives Needed more in-depth data

NWEA enters the picture…. Needed to secure teacher buy-in Needed professional development for

administration, teachers, IT, etc. Need to learn the various administrative

features Class Roster Files Downloading tests, etc.

How to manage it all? Scheduling Student orientation to test Tests are proctored by teachers, admin

Projected 2009 WKCE scores with MAP Data

2009-2010 Administered MAP test 3x:

Fall, Winter, Spring Due to on-site technical difficulties with primary test

only grades 2-8 were tested

Year 3 2010-2011

This 2010 August data retreat was the first time we had an outside consultant

come to help us analyze our MAP data

During this 3-day retreat Becky helped our staff go more in depth in analyzing

past WKCE data and make observations and hypotheses for math and reading

Our staff also analyzed our MAP data and discussed trends and possible

strategies for improvement

Staff wrote reading and math goals for the 2010-2011 School Year

Year 3 Continued

Under Becky’s guidance our staff continued to analyze the data by strands and write

goals for the area with the most improvement need.

In addition to writing data-based goals for reading and math, Becky facilitated the

creation of a grade-level unit action plan to assist in our goal achievement

Students Grades 2-8 were tested in fall, winter, & spring of 2010-2011

Year 42011-2012

The MAP test was administered to grades K-8.

The Terra Nova test was replaced with the MAP Primary Test in order to have more timely and in-depth data

Data Meetings held after each testing period (Fall, Winter, Summer)

Analyze data trends and how they correlate to action plans

Descartes was explored more in depth to inform instruction

More staff ownership of grade-level unit goals and action plans

Data used to inform after-school tutoring program, math intervention period (RTI), special education, GT, etc

What are we doing now?

Students are setting goals

Delete

Special Education and the tutoring program are using

the data

Staff is becoming more involved with DesCartes and learning about it’s

many applications.
