FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS

• “Looking forward” at Essential Standards being assessed on the upcoming benchmark assessment using the Yearlong Assessment Blueprint

MATH BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT

• Given three times a year • Fall, Winter, Spring• K-6• Complete prior to Measurement of Student Progress (MSP)

• Approximately 24 items per assessment• 6 items per essential standard

LOOKING AT DATA

• Meet as a staff to review Data Director access

• Identify reports that will be most useful to our work

• Give some time to initially look at the data

• Begin the reflection towards “next steps”

USING THE PROTOCOL

• Grade Level Teamwork

• Analyzing Data for Strengths – Performance Expectation

• Analyzing Data for Challenges – Performance Expectation

• Distractor Analysis from Data Director

• Planning Instruction/Intervention Support

PLANNING INSTRUCTION

• What strategies will we implement as a team to improve student achievement based on the data?

• Use Data Director item bank to collect similar items to be used for extra practice and assessment.

• What evidence will show that student achievement improved as a result?

MONITORING DATA

• Using multiple sources of data to monitor student progress with a “mini-action plan”

• Making adjustments along the way
