Using Data to Improve Student Learning (Presentation for Grades 3 -5 Teachers) August 2016 Burroughs-Molette Elementary School Mary Jo Swiger

Think About It… • IF EDUCATORS… model the Data Wise Improvement Process and ACE Habits of Mind in daily practice, build the knowledge and skill of others to do the work of improvement, think big and focus small, act and adjust quickly, based on evidence, in order to see real change in learning and teaching, and capture and share learning as it unfold, THEN… this learning will build collective skill and confidence so that everyone can extend the work of improvement throughout the organization, and learning and teaching for all children will improve.

Guiding Questions for School Population Prediction: What changes do you think have occurred in student population in grades 3 -5 for the following school years? (2013 -2014, 20142015, 2015 -2016) 1. What do you notice about the changes in each grade level? 2. Which grade level changed the most over the three-year period? 3. Why is there a change in student population? Review Slide # 4, then write a brief summary.

Guiding Questions for CCRPI Data (College and Career Readiness Performance Index) • • • Review Slides (14 – 17) and make three observations. What inferences and explanations can we draw from the data sets? What tentative conclusions might we draw? Are there achievement gaps between different groups of students? How can we better serve all of the students in our school?
