FINALIZING STANDARDS MASTERY DATA

There are a few steps to take to verify your EOY standards mastery data

Your assessment template provides guidance for all the steps you will take

Let’s walk through them step by step in a sample tracker

Your tracker should include your full name

Your tracker should have a finalized roster

Note: All new students who joined your class should be added to the roster, and all students who have missed more than 50% of instructional time should be removed from the dataset with supporting documentation.

Your assessment calendar should reflect that at least two assessments have been administered

and at least two rounds of data should be entered in your tracker

For ALL students

Note: If you are missing data for even one student, your data are not complete!

All standards should be assessed

Note: All standards should be assessed with the adequate rigor and at-bats necessary to make a valid inference about student learning

Another way to check that all standards have been assessed is that these two values are the same

Note: These values are not the same, which means not all standards were assessed!

Your tracker should be error-free

Oops!

And finally, you should check your progress to Goal!

Note: This class achieved an average standards mastery of 75.66%. The class met the Proficient Goal, but not the Ambitious Goal.

Treating your data with care is a critical part of your role as a teacher

and a graduate student

Your students deserve it!
