Data Team Process – How do you begin?
Step 1: Examine effect data to identify strengths and weaknesses
Strengths Weaknesses
Ideas in logical order Poor mechanics/conventions
Some supporting detail Abundant spelling errors
Step 2: Consider cause data to identify possibilities
Data Team Process – Now what?
Step 1: Examine effect data to identify strengths and weaknesses
Strengths What causes do they infer?
Ideas in logical order Students planned for writing.Students used graphic organizers.
Some supporting detail Students were required to write 5 to 8 sentences.
What are the possibilities?
Weaknesses What causes do they infer?
Poor mechanics/conventions Students did not revise work.
Abundant spelling errors Students did not complete the writing process – rough draft only.
What are the possibilities?
What is the cause data?
• It is NOT the effect data.– proficiency on narrative writing assessment
• Cause data measures what teachers do.– # of minutes of daily writing required– Quality of DIRECT writing instruction– # of times per week students receive specific
CORRECTIVE/DESCRIPTIVE feedback on their writing– Ways students receive feedback?– Graphic organizers used
Effect Data Cause Data
Standardized Test Scores What did you (the teacher or specialist) do? What did you not do?
Local Assessment Scores % of time you tried “x”
End of Unit Tests or End of Course Tests # of times you did “y”
Samples of Student Work The quality of “x” and/or the quality of “y”
Observations of Student Peformances or Interactions
Step 3: Select specific instructional strategies
Data Team Process – Just good teaching?
Step 2: Consider cause data to identify possibilities
Step 1: Examine effect data to identify strengths and weaknesses
Example Instructional Strategies
• I will model the peer editing process at least twice a week for 10-15 minutes.
• I will use non-linguistic representations or graphic organizers one to two times per week.
• Students scoring well below standard will attend at least one thirty-minute focused intervention session (outside of class).
Step 3: Select specific instructional strategies
Data Team Process–What do you look for now?
Step 2: Consider cause data to identify possibilities
Step 1: Examine effect data to identify strengths and weaknesses
Step 4: Determine results indicators and look fors
Example Results Indicators…
A 50% reduction in grammar errors in graded assignments.
Attendance at focused intervention sessions.
Example Look Fors….
Students MORE engaged in the peer editing process
More FOCUSED conversations/questions during peer editing
Working in data teams isjust good teaching.
It involves examining both effect data and cause data.
It involves considering strengths and weaknesses.
It involves experimenting with instructional strategies.
Collaborative Data Team Members will….
• Examine student effect data• Consider relevant cause data• Select instructional strategy and experiment• Analyze, reflect upon, and share the results
