Data Analysis
Interventions
“Once children are taught what they need to learn and then assessed for their levels of proficiency, there needs to be appropriate, data-driven academic interventions to help students who are not on track to be proficient by the end of the year. There also needs to be similar social interventions, because children who are emotionally well adjusted are much more likely to be academically successful.”
During our Academic Conferences we discussed interventions for our students. In reviewing the data, we have moved past the excuses and how we can help them at school :)
When we review data, we focus on what the students don’t know and how we are going to provide interventions to support the students learning.
We have now completed MAP assessments. What are you doing with the data? What interventions have you put in place? Here is an example:
If your student scores have low RIT score. You are able to drill down into the results to determine on which standards the students need support in. As an example in Math, when one drills down further into the data, you may notice that the majority of the students struggled with expressions and equations. A smaller number also struggled with use functions to model relationships. Then the teacher is able to develop very targeted lessons that can be delivered in a small group setting. The teacher does not have to re-teach the entire class. Targeted, immediate intervention will have a positive impact on student achievement.
We have just finished giving our district writing prompt.

Some ideas for conferences and report cards:
During conferences you can sit side by side with your laptop and have a student chromebook. Have parents sign into parent portal on the chromebook. Please watch the video I shared with you so you can check to see which parents have not signed up. You can then have a print out of codes if you need it and then have parents sign into parent portal. You can have separate signature sheet that parents can sign so that way you know who attended conferences.
Question came up how can I tell if parents have looked at progress reports- you can sign into your account and you can see which parents have signed in. Watch the video that was shared with you.
RQC scores need to be inputted by hand in K-5 grade in Illuminate EVERY trimester.
