20. Turn and Talk • On a scale of one to five, how comfortable are you feeling about pulling this data from Data Director? Share on Today’s Meet http://todaysmeet.com/mtssmath

21. Easy CBM Math Background Information • Measures: students’ mastery of the knowledge and skills outlined in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Focal Point Standards • Focuses more on students’ conceptual understanding than basic computational skills • Fraser’s K-6 Math Data Points include assessment in Fall (#1), Winter (#2) & Spring (#3) from each of the three focal points • Equivalent difficulty across the measures within a grade level • Math tests from a given focal point should be used NO MORE than once every 3-4 weeks for monitoring progress • K-1 students have a “read aloud” option

22. Easy CBM MathBackground Information • Items increase in difficulty from #1-#16 with one exception • #5 is the most difficult • #16 is the 5th easiest • Note: If a student misses #16, but gets #6, 7 & 8 correct, it is likely the child stopped trying by the end of the test because the last item should be easier than the items that come before it

23. Reporting Options in EasyCBM

24. Reports in EasyCBM

25. Group Reports in EasyCBM

26. Viewing Classroom Data for a Specific Focal Point #1 #2 #3

27. Group Summary Report Summary Bar Graph shows distribution of scores and descriptive information

28. “Empty Lot” may indicate a big difference in skills “Near Neighbors” can easily work together Group Summary Report: Provides information helpful for grouping students

29. Math Item Analysis Example Item Analysis Report: Provides insight into the item types on which students need more work. Rank ordered by item from highest % correct to lowest % correct for your class Note: As you interpret these data ask: Has this item type been taught?

30. Individual Reports in EasyCBM

31. Select Individuals and then select an individual student to view graphs

32. Individual Student Graphs: Show a student’s performance on each assessment in comparison to “norms” over time

33. Interpreting the Chart 90th Percentile 50th Percentile 20th Percentile 10th Percentile

34. Interpreting the Chart Click on “View” to drill down & see the student’s specific responses on each item Note: Use results in conjunction with the Item Analysis Report to look at specific item type

35. Specific Student’s Answer Responses This student selected “B” for Item 1 The correct response was also “B”

36. Specific Student’s Answer Responses Continued This student selected “A” for Item 1 The correct response was “B”

37. Individual Student Report This report can also provide information helpful for judging the effectiveness of interventions for a particular student over time.

38. Sharing Data with other Team Members • Screen Shots (command, shift, three) • Log in as a team during a PLC Meeting and use Apple TV • Print a copy of the student results
