Shannon Chapman, Principal, Diane Herzfeldt, Research & Assessment, Menominee Tribal School, WI Fusion 2012, the NWEA summer conference in Portland, Oregon This session will provide schools that are in their first few years of MAP administration with an overview of the structural components to consider as they use data, set up schedules, communicate with/involve parents, and incorporate a variety of instructional resources. Menominee Tribal School will share their evolution to data-based decision making, using MAP data, to inform planning and instruction. We have shown tremendous growth since we started MAP assessments. Come and hear our story!

Why the need for NWEA Map Testing?
Low WKCE Scores
Need for more detailed data
to develop school goals
Increase in proficiency
levels (NCLB)
Common Core Standards
Data, data, data!
Assessments• DIBELS• STAR Reading• STAR Math• Odyssey• NWEA• WKCE (3-8)• Terra Nova (K-2)
What do we do with it all?
• Data retreats 3x year to analyze the reports
• Grade level goal setting• Action planning• Individual goal setting• Student data binders• Data wall• Time & Content grids• Set up student intervention
programs as well as enrichment programming
• Family Nights to teach parents how to read the NWEA reports and promoting family involvement in education
How did we get here?
Menominee Tribal School
is ranked #3 in the BIE Reads!
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
Fall 2008: MAP test administered K-8 followed by Spring 2009 test
Year 2 2009-2010
Summer Data Retreat -
August 2009 Facilitated by school administrators Analyze WKCE data and our “new”
MAP data Learn to print Teacher Reports from
NWEA Analyze Teacher Reports from 2008-
2009 HIGHLIGHTERS
Two Grade Levels Below At-Risk At Grade Level Above Grade level
Compare to WKCE Graphs
Year 2 Continued
Analyzed 2008-2009 data using the Class Breakdown by
Strand by grade levels
What was the highest scoring strand?
What was the lowest scoring strand?
What does this mean?
What adjustments can be made for next term?
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.
