Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight. - Thomas Calyle, Scottish essayist and historian
Data Analysis to get RESULTS Over time – what can help schools make decisions to increase student achievement?
Questions – Over Time • How do your school's math scores compare to the district? • How does your school's demographics compare to the district? • What trends do you see as students move up in grade level? • What is the lowest scoring AYP group? • What are the highest content standards for each grade? • What are the lowest content standards for each grade?
AYP Subgroups IEP populations
Content Strands – Over Time 2006 and 2007 posted Tracking between buildings
Analyze individual data sets for instruction and differentiation • Look at the percentages of Exceeds, Meets, Below, Warning • National Percentile Rank – based on first 30 questions in session 1 • Demographics group
Scaled scores – breaking points within 5 points • Exceeds lower level • Meets upper & lower level • Below on the upper & lower levels • Warning upper level
Specific data • Breakdown of MC by goals – correlate to number of items in the set • Breakdown of item type by rubric - Short response and extended response • Breakdown of the Assessment Framework items

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes. - Marcel Proust, French novelist
Building workable pivot tables • Create the data set with one heading row • Delete columns not needed • Click in the data set • Go to Data, Pivot Table and Pivot Chart • Choose your options to create in a new worksheet
Comparison to local assessment What sources of data do you use to make decisions?
