Each school should meet as a group (or with HH and WC, perhaps 3 groups) and spend the hour examining:
student results from CAPT from 2007
student results from quarterly assessments from 2007.
sample student work from quarter one assessments?
quarter one assessment results (it is POSSIBLE that they will be ready electronically Mon am!).

and function as a data team (similar to last May's meeting)

I will email specific links/files to student data Friday or Monday

I made a spreadsheet of ALL students who took the 07 CAPT in science...
you can filter columns....
for example:
School:Cross, Retest: No, Gender: Male  ... and then scroll to the right to see the average of the filtered results for each strand, as well as content vs. inquiry %

Go around and introduce, describe populations   ( 5 min)

Active Participation/Listening:   (no multi tasking, time out to talk to RT, everyone responds to each question)

Trained data team leader from comprehensive school facilitates

Use data from quarterly assessments/ standards/ writing samples

Anecdotal evidence is OK…. if it is representative of your population

Share ideas!

Refer to the STANDARDS!!!!

Which students have mastered which grade level outcomes/standards and proficiencies before explicit instruction has taken place?

Which grade level concepts and skills are most of your students lacking (non-proficient) at the beginning of the school year? At semester? Just before state and/or district assessments begin?

Questions to Discuss

I) Look at the data…………………

Which schools/teachers had an improvement from quarter one to quarter two?

Why?

Which sub groups did or did not improve from quarter one to quarter two?

Why?

II) Look at the assessment

What are students getting wrong?

Why?

What are the issues around:

            Reading the questions (understanding how to answer)

            Reading the content

III) Look at the answers

Are students:

            Writing something correct, but not answering the question?

            Writing something incorrect that answers the question?

            Writing very little or nothing?

Which words do they not understand?

IV) Look at the strategies

Which has helped them answer open ended questions the most?

            Going over the answers in class afterwards (Whole class)

            Peer reviewing each other’s answers

            Taking notes during small group/pair discussions

            Following an outline

            Other

V) Plan for the future

What are the most important instructional strategies to try to improve student achievement?
