REPORTING ON MID-YEAR DATA – READING GROWTH

It’s mid-year, and time to check your progress

You will answer the question:

Where am I now?

Your assessment template provides guidance for how to answer this question

Let’s walk through some of these steps in

a tracker

Like always, you will share how you have continued to treat your data with care

Honest Accurate

Complete

Error-Free

You will confirm you have at least one new round of data

Note: you may have collected additional rounds of assessment since the beginning-of-year. If so, you should also enter those rounds of assessment in your tracker!

Next, check your progress

What is your current overall average reading growth?

Have any students already met their student-specific ambitious goals? If so, what % of students?

Identify your most recent character average

Note: This average is found by taking the average of student self evaluations and teacher evaluations. Remember you must collect 100% of self and teacher evaluations for your round of data to be considered complete.

Next, see how much growth has been made since last round.

Note: This average is found by taking the difference between your Round 2 average and your Round 1 average. You must find this difference manually. You should also note that your students may make positive OR negative growth!

Note whether character data increased or

decreased from the previous round and why you think this is the case

If any students left your class since the beginning-of-year you may use “NETR”

Note: NETR stands for “Not Enrolled This Round” and signals that the student was not a part of your classroom for this round of instruction. Please note, NETR should NOT be used for students who were present in class, but simply missed your assessment.

Now that you can answer the question

where are we now? It’s time to answer our

next question: How do I know?
