  1. Global Scholar Data Interpretation Lee County Schools

  2. OUTCOMES Understand components of the gains analysis report Review and manipulate assessment gains data for your own schools Utilize strategies and resources to individualize instruction for students so they can meet or exceed Target Goals for the year

  3. Performance Series A. It is a computer-adaptive skills diagnostic assessment, independent of enrolled grade level. Student growth is compared to students from a normed national sample who are in the same grade level and have similar scaled scores. ~information pulled from Global Scholar Q. How does Performance Series measure growth?

  4. Performance Series Q. Why would using growth be different than utilizing other test data? Using the average national growth data enables educators to measure students fairly because each student is being compared to growth from other students who performed similarly to them. Since students may begin the school year at vastly different levels, PS allows teachers to measure the progress each student makes based on their incoming ability level, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ growth target. ~information pulled from Global Scholar

  5. Observed gains

  6. Observed Average Gains Gains Report Gains Analysis

  7. Gains Analysis

  8. What is good growth? Everyone learns at a different rate!

  9. Grade 5 Math Example: Ava Good, 5th grade student, took PS Math in fall. She received a 2380. Scaled Score. For Ava to stay in the 4thDecile by spring, she would need to grow 132.70 points. No significant gain…did not meet target

  10. How does growth affect performance? A 4th grade class takes the Reading assessment in fall and spring. The two bars represent the scaled score ranges for the class, for each administration of the test. 1300 3700 Everybody is moving. Therefore, the student must move more to increase performance. The star represents a student’s score on each test administration. His/Her National Percentile Rank stays the same, even though he/she has grown.

  11. Which student showed the greatest gains from testing period one to testing period 2? Which student showed the greatest growth from testing period one to testing period 2? A B C Gain D Growth Student level report:

  12. How should we use Gains Analysis? • Have your teachers use growth targets as guides to setting academic goals for students, classes, and for monitoring progress • What factors led students to meet/not meet the gains target, from the previous testing window? What influence, if any, do I and/or teachers have over these factors? • Continuously refer back to SLOs to differentiate instruction based on student needs • How can I further use growth data with SLOs to guide instruction? • Involve students in growth targets • How do we ensure that students meet their goals/targets? • How do we relay PS goals to students?
