Our Agenda Review K-5
Benchmark Assessment Plan
Grade Level Trimester Overview
Introduction to eadms data program
SGUSD Digital Community
Parking Lot! Questions,

Mark comments for this session as “Data.”
K – 5 Trimester Overview and Benchmark Assessments
Note cohesion between grade levels.
Grading scales and rubrics are posted for each benchmark
Questions, corrections, or comments?
Trimester Overview & Grading Rubric
Note math benchmarks are to be given only in the 1st and 3rd trimesters this year.
AR/STAR levels were driven by Fountas and Pinnell A-Z scales.
Where Are We Headed? Develop solid
benchmark assessments aligned to Common Core standards.
Assemble team of teachers to design math benchmark assessments for every grade level this summer.
Use benchmark data to inform instruction
Use benchmark data as evidence of progress on ELA/ELD standards
Learn to use and manage features in our new data system, eadms.
Short Term to Long Term Data Goals
Develop new report card aligned to Common Core Standards (Winter/Spring 2015)
Develop benchmark assessments with eadms (Summer Curriculum Work)
Jennifer’s Long Term Wish List? Train elementary
teachers to use AERIES gradebook
Set up AERIES gradebook so that grades may be automatically pushed in to the report card
Educator's Assessment Data Management System
SGUSD’s new data collection vehicle
Offers practical tools for classroom teachers
Variety of student reports available
Capacity for building specialized reports that can disaggregate data
Capacity for creating on-line Common Core aligned tests through a question bank with multiple choice, true/false, and constructed response items
Options for on-line grading of tests (not available for constructed response.)
Why Did We Ditch Data Director?
Ownership of the company and its product changed
Cost of the program skyrocketed
Data Director did not link with AERIES
eadms and AERIES are linked
Can make our job easier as we make full use of its capabilities
Let’s Log In!
• Log into your AERIES.net account• Look for the blue butterfly at the bottom of the
menu on the left.• A few may not have this option; let David know

A few idiosyncrasies…
The up and down arrow keys don’t advance you to the next student
The tab and shift will move you horizontally and to the next student, but not vertically
If you input one assessment at a time, use the mouse to advance to the next student.
Time for you to input your scores!
Let us know if you need any help.
If you don’t have scores with you, play around with the Student Profile page.
