Responding to Mid-Year Data - Reading Growth
- 1. RESPONDING TO MID-YEAR DATA – READING GROWTH
- 2. Now is the fun time. Time to… http://www.picserver.org/t/take-action.html
- 3. You will answer the question: What needs to happen to reach our goals by the end-of-year?
- 4. Your assessment template provides guidance on how to answer this question
- 5. To answer this question you will do two things…
- 6. First, you will quantify what it will take to reach your Ambitious Goal
- 7. This means identifying what individual students will need to achieve to reach their goals
- 8. And considering which students will need additional support
- 9. It’s about quantifying success. Let’s look at an example… Let’s say your students have grown a half-year (0.50 years) in reading. What would it take for your students to meet your Ambitious Goal by the end of year?
- 10. Sounds like… your students are on pace to achieve one year (1.0 years) growth in reading by the end-of-year. To reach the goal you would likely need to double this amount of reading growth.
- 11. Or, more likely… you will need to consider how many students have already reached their student-specific ambitious goals.
- 12. Or, even more likely… you will need to think about how many levels each individual student needs to grow to reach his or her student- specific ambitious goal.
- 13. This may look like the following
- 15. This isn’t about gaming your way to your goal
- 16. This is about identifying what all of your students need to learn in order to be successful in the next grade year and beyond
- 17. Once you have quantified what it will take to reach your goal, the question becomes what you are going to do about it http://calicospanish.com/make-your-classroom-green-how-to-effectively-recycle-vocabulary/
- 18. What instructional actions you will take in response to your data?
- 19. Make these instructional next steps… • Specific! • Say when. • Say what. • Say how. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Branch_Math_Class.jpg
- 20. Sounds like you are ready to prepare for your in-person data check!
