Data Tracking WHY? In order for us to understand our students well, we must know what their level of growth is. By tracking data over time, we can get a better snapshot of their strengths, weaknesses, and rate of growth. This knowledge will help us to: • Individualize instruction to better meet academic and behavioral needs of each student, and • Help us to involve our students in setting measurable goals for continued growth. HOW? This presentation will guide you through the process of creating and maintaining a data tracking sheet for your students.
Objectives • Teachers will create and maintain digital data records for all students in their classroom. • Teachers will use the digital records to: a. Inform instruction and individualize lessons for students, b. Set goals for students’ continuous growth.
