October 2014

Session Objectives
• Participants will be able to develop action plans based on data from a Common Core-aligned assessment.
• Participants will be able to use data analysis documents to inform next steps for classroom instruction.
• Participants will have time to connect to their own practice by working with sample data trackers, including how to use data to choose groups and suggested activities within those groups.

AGENDA
• Introduction• Quick Review of Assessment Design &
Analyzing and Tracking Data• Now what? The post-analysis action plan!
Analyzing trends Grouping students Possible instructional activities When/How to implement instruction What extra support may be needed

Introduction
• Who am I? what do I do? Why do I do it?

What do we know about this student, based on this response?What DON’T we know about based on this response?
Review of Session 1: Assessment Design
Key understandingso Text selection matters….a loto Comprehension is kingo Sometimes we do don’t know what
we don’t know—but we aim to find out!

PROMPT:
FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS: COMPREHENSION, WRITING ORGANIZATION, COMMAND OF GRAMMAR/MECHANICS
Assessment Prompt Element RESPONSE
FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING IWhat vocabulary of the discipline do you need to know and understand in order to answer the prompt?
FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING IIWhat conceptual understandings of the text do you need in order to answer the prompt? What are the components of the response needed to answer the question?
ANSWER (Claim)
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE(textual evidence that supports claim)
REASONING (connection of evidence to claim)

Analysis

“Connecting the dots”
Drawing conclusions from the data
The challenges of Tracking Data for Analysis
Looking for that sweet spot between doable and useful!• We don’t want to “granularize” content…
…but we have to do something to look “under the hood” in order to move forward• We want our students engaged in rich tasks…
…but we want to dig into the work associated with the tasks to learn specifics about what our students know and can do• We don’t want to reduce student data to a “checklist”
where the complexities of expository writing are reduced to 0s and 1s
…but we want usable information about how are kids are doing with respect to the demands of the Common Core

Analyzing Trends• Mr. Abel’s Class Data tracker (pages 5-10)• Review of data descriptors: P, D, X0, A and L• Review of data points• Context: the hypothetical assessment in
question… Used a 8th grade-level Literary Non-Fiction text Was a “2 point CR” style item measuring 8.RI.3 Was given after a unit of study related to the text Was given early in the year
Engageny.org
Analyzing Trends• Review of codes: P, D, X0, A and L
PROFICIENT: Valid Inference/Claim; supplies sufficient evidence in support of that claim; explanation/rationale for how evidence connects to claim
DEVELOPING: Inference/Claim; supplies partial evidence in support of that claim; incomplete explanation/rationale for how evidence connects to claim
ANALYSIS: demonstrates analysis either within inference/claim and/or evidence and/or explanation/rationale
X0: does not demonstrate evidence of this data point LITERAL: Claim is mostly literal recounting of events or details
from the text ; evidence and/or rationale are literal
• These are not mutually exclusive (except for X0, and Analysis cannot be literal)
Engageny.org
Analyzing Trends
• Discuss at your table: What’s a whole class trend? What’s an interesting/troubling group of
students? For your convenience:
• Page 5-6: whole class data• Pages 7-8: SORTED BY INFERENCE/CLAIM• Page 9: sorted by students who have claims that are either
“Developing” or “Developing/Literal”• Page 10: Sorted by students who have claims that are
“Proficient”, “Proficient/Analysis” or “Proficient/Literal”
Engageny.org
Analyzing Trends What’s a whole class trend?
What’s an interesting/troubling group of students?

Action Plan Templates
• Erie 2• North Star• Generic
• WHY (ANALYSIS)WHO, HOW, WHEN RE-ASSESS
Engageny.org
WHO: Grouping
• How might you use the analysis of trends to form small groups for small-group instruction/review?
• How might you use the analysis of trends to determine whole class instruction?
• How might you use the analysis of trends to determine what extra support may be needed to meet students’ needs?
Engageny.org
HOW: Instruction
• How might you use the analysis of trends to plan instruction with whole class? Small groups?
• Can you use student-facing feedback from the assessment as a meta-cognitive piece?
• Continuum of interventions on page 16• Excerpts from Common Core-Aligned
Interventions for Adolescent Readers pages 17-36
Engageny.org
WHEN: Instruction
The show must go on….
• How might you use the analysis of trends to plan instruction with whole class? Small groups?
• What scheduling and time considerations will there be?
Engageny.org
WHEN: Re-Assess
When should you take the temperature with regard to the whole class, small groups, specific individual students again?
How should you assess (informal, exit ticket, interview, etc.)
Engageny.org
Creating an Action Plan
Use one of the templates provided, create an action plan outlining the why/who/how/when
for the whole class OR a small group of students in Mr. Abel’s class.
