Teaming is intended for the purpose of increasing student achievement.” Gerald Anderson Patricia Davenport The vision is…”We are going to get every kid over the bar.”Richard DuFour
INSTRUCTION • A Performance Assessment is a unique task which measures enduring understanding through the practical application of skills and the transfer of knowledge. (Grade 8 Teams) PERFORMANCE TRADITIONAL FORMATIVE SUMMATIVE STANDARDIZED CURRICULUM PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT
DATA COLLECTION Data are not intended to blame anyone. Instead, they are aimed at understanding a system that avoids using precise information that can guide and inform better practice. Data analysis is the process of collecting data about a system with the purpose of improving practice. Schmoker
Data: Where do I get it? • Standardized test • Norm/criterion referenced test • Authentic assessments (performance, portfolios, projects, artifacts, presentations) • Student assessments • Student work • Progress reports on students skills and outcomes • Self reflections, logs, journals • Rubrics
Looking at Student Assessment • Purposes: • Diagnose, identify or monitor student needs • Align curriculum, instruction and assessment with • student needs • Assess the extent to which standards are addressed • Process: • On a grade level • Across grade levels • Within a department • other
Appropriate Ways of Using Test Data • Identify strengths and weaknesses of program • Use data from preceding program analysis to make adjustments in different grade levels to identify pockets of teaching expertise and success • Analyze error and omissions present in the work of lower performing students • Use this data to devise intervention strategies, program evaluation and action research work • Use data from highest performing student to identify new targets • Develop lessons and units that embed test demands in richly contextualized ways
Inappropriate Ways of Using Test Data • DO NOT isolate teachers in grade level where test is given and ascribe blame • DO NOT use data from state test to infer teacher incompetence • DO NOT rely on development and implementation of parallel tests that closely resemble state tests as the primary means of increasing test scores
DATA ANALYSIS Triangulation of Data Use data from three or more sources Compensate for the imperfections of data gathering instruments Increase confidence in results when you do find similar results from multiple measures Raise follow-up questions when multiple measures yield different results
Gap Analysis A gap is the distance between where you want to be and where you are now. • Set goals for student achievement • Consider setting targets to keep your eye on the goals • Celebrate incremental progress
Item Analysis • Determine where the challenges and/or strengths are based on the number of test takers who missed or answered appropriately specific items on a test • Decide where to focus curriculum development time
Student Need Analysis • Identify specific areas that students are finding the most difficult • Determine if the same area is a need for: • Different grade levels • Different groups of students • Consider needs of disaggregated populations (special education) as a priority
Root Cause • Identify the problem • Develop a list of hunches/hypotheses about why the problem exists • Clarify or dig deeper into hunches/hypotheses about why the problem exists • Identify data to use in examining hunches/hypotheses • Analyze data- discuss the problem • Identify the underlying reasons of the problem
What instructional strategies do I use to improve learning? You probably are thinking you have more information than you need!
Essential Questions • How does assessment drive instruction? • How can teachers use data to improve learning? • Are we using data in decision making?
STAGE I • Review of available assessment data by teams and departments in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and develop improvement goals • September – team meeting • October and November – faculty meetings • October - department meeting
During the meetings: • Review data sources- • New York State Assessments (Individual Student Reports available on common drive) • Aggregate Data • Item analysis • Departmental summaries of data analysis • Grade distribution report
(continued) • Review other key data to help establish achievement improvement goals including previous year’s goals, portfolios, end-of-year assessments, disaggregated data, accelerated courses data, attendance/tardy data, discipline referrals, etc. • Compare performance indicators at specific grade levels of new NYS Assessments grades three to eight with standardized test data (focus on changes in NYS Mathematics curriculum) and examine format of new NYS assessments • Identify areas of success and concerns with supporting data • Select subject area goals for improvement by grade level or course teams (ex. math 8) – goals should be specifically targeted to measurable improvement in subject area
(continued) • Write a reflection about achievement of previous year’s goals • Brainstorm improvement strategies • Write measurable goals and improvement strategies for subject areas using form provided or self-selected forms • Department chairs and directors will submit written goals by Fall, 2009
STAGE II At December faculty meeting celebrate past accomplishments and share goals and possible strategies
Generating concrete improvement strategies Sharing what is working – such as measurable breakthroughs in student learning Implementing successful strategies, for example, differentiated instruction, flexible grouping, flexible scheduling, etc. Analyzing ongoing performance data for progress Reactions to new NYS Assessments grades three to eight in Language Arts and Mathematics STAGE III During team and department meeting in January and February, periodically collect classroom tested research relative to established goals. Discuss effective ways to ensure successful implementation. Establish clear, simple periodic assessments relative to goals. Progress on goals can be charted regularly (minimally after each marking period). The review meetings should include:
STAGE IV At March faculty meeting share successful lessons and instructional strategies advancing progress on established goals
STAGE V Administer end-of-year assessment and compile data to review during summer and fall
