  32. Up Next… Implement curriculum and environment to meet educational goals. ✔ Observe children over time and in multiple settings. Use findings to set educational goals. ✔ Gather multiple pieces of evidence to show mastery. Analyze the data. ✔ Review, reflect, and rate the instrument. 2016 California Department of Education with WestEd, adapted for Illinois State Board of Education, Illinois KIDS Project.

  33. Describing Distributions • What do you notice about this distribution for • ATL-REG 1: Curiosity and Initiative in Learning? Total children: 20

  34. Turn to… • Interpreting a Sample KIDS Report (Workbook, pp. 2–4)

  35. Let’s practice interpreting KIDS data with sample reports. • We will look for: • Anything that stands out at first glance. • Students’ strengths and areas of need.

  36. Your Turn: ATL-REG and SED • What initially stands out to you? • Looking at the measures within each individual domain, what similarities and differences do you see in ratings? • Looking across all the domains, what similarities and differences do you see? • What strengths and areas of need do you notice?

  37. Sample Report AATL-REG

  38. Sample Report ASED

  39. Your Turn: LLD and COG-MATH • What initially stands out to you? • Looking at the measures within each individual domain, what similarities and differences do you see in ratings? • Looking across all the domains, what similarities and differences do you see? • What strengths and areas of need do you notice?

  40. Sample Report ALLD

  41. Sample Report ACOG-MATH

  42. Follow-up Questions • What follow-up questions or hypotheses would you want to consider? Example: On average, are my male students at different developmental levels than my female students in the ATL-REG domain? Maybe I should look at group reports for gender.
