Introduction to Data Walls
A Data Wall is…• a planning tool that allows you to design and organize
reading instruction
• a visual way to monitor student progress and instructional effectiveness
PPS Framework Review
Table Discussion1. Choose a grade level2. Use the Framework to
identify the instructional materials and time recommended for each Tier
Data Cards
• Fall DIBELS Composite Score and easyCBM Risk Rating determines Tier (color of card)
• Color stays the same throughout year in order to give visual representation of student progress
• Triangulate data to fine tune instruction within Tier• DIBELS individual measures (e.g., NWF, ORF)• easyCBM individual measures (e.g., VOCAB, PRF)• Progress Monitoring• Phonics Survey Tasks• In program assessments• Oaks
Data Card Example
Instructional Focus Groups…
allow teachers to differentiate instruction within a tier and to design targeted small group instruction that addresses identified gaps in learning.
Understanding Instructional Focus Groups
Table Activity5-7 minutes:• Divide your team into 3 groups (K, 1-3 & 4-8)• Each group reads the Instructional Focus Group document for their
assigned grade level group• Highlight critical descriptors and recommended instructional focus• Be prepared to teach your team what you learned
10 minutes:• Use Go Around Protocol for each Instructional Focus Group• Share key points of each, K, 1-3 and 4-8
Check for Understanding
• At your table, discuss the correct Instructional Focus Group• Hold up card with the appropriate
group number

Text-Based Discussion Protocol
Table Group10 minutes:• Read the Fall Benchmark Data Analysis Protocol • Take margin notes and/or highlight key ideas
15 minutes:• Discuss Guiding Questions • What role does the Data Wall play in the analysis of grade level
data and the planning of instruction?• How does the protocol guide teachers in evaluating their grade
level tiered approach to reading?• What are the key steps in the protocol? • How does this protocol support teachers to have focused data
conversations?
