Action Items – Next Steps
• Get access to AIR’s math data and spend some time investigating your students data. (Work with your site’s Assessment Coordinator to get access to AIR’s website.)
•Train staff on the data they can find at this site. Think about how you can use this data to inform instruction.
•Read the grade-level standards and Achievement Level Descriptors found at the math department’s website.
•Use the common assessments and progress monitoring for each unit and plan instruction that will help students master grade-level learning targets.
•Convene a Data Team meeting with a focus on math achievement and plan specific action steps.
