Understanding Your Data

• Class• Student • Standards

• National• State • District/System

What are the sources of data currently available to

teachers/faculty in this consortium?

Let’s list some… – – – – – –

• Achievement gaps• Differences between subgroups• Trends • Progress

What the Data Reveal

Given the available data, what kinds of improvements might teachers/faculty

be able to make?

Given the available data, what kinds of data are missing that would allow them

to make more powerful changes?

Using Data from Similar Tests

• Both tests align to a national standard (e.g., NOCTI; or industry standard, e.g., NIMS, National Nurse Aide Assessment Program)

• Reports include subpart scores for major categories (competencies) within the occupation

• The blueprints have several content areas in common

ANY ASSESSMENT USED FOR THIS PROJECT MUST PROVIDE A TEACHER

OR FACULTY MEMBER WITH COMPETENCY-BASED RESULTS FOR

Carpentry Class Pre-Test

So does it become “teaching to the test”?

Given that technical skill assessments are aligned with national standards and/or employer-expected competencies, an assessment is ONE WAY to provide assurance that program instruction is preparing students for workplace demands.

When an assessment is combined with other relevant data that examine multiple facets of student performance, confidence that students are prepared improves dramatically.

Alignment with other Improvement efforts

• CTEDDI is not designed to be another stand-alone effort to improve instruction

• It has been designed to fit within other improvement efforts or strategic efforts (i.e. school reform initiatives, HLC accreditation, etc.)
