Benefits and Considerations for Teachers• Understand academic preparedness of
students before they enter the classroom
• Monitor student progress, ensuring growth opportunities for all students
• Modify curriculum, student support, and instructional strategies to address the needs of all students
What is Data?
Data can be defined as information organized for analysis or used to make
decisions.
What is Data Literacy?
Understanding needed to:
•Find
•Evaluate
•Utilize to inform instruction
A Data Literate Person Can…
A data literate person possesses the knowledge to gather, analyze, and
graphically convey information to support short and long-term decision-making.

What Data Do You Have?• With your table, identify as many data sources that you are aware which belong to the following
categories:– Achievement– Demographic– Program– Perception
• One group member should record for the group writing one data source per sticky note• With your group decide what category the data source fits • Post your data sources on the charts found on the wall
• How can you access this data?
• What data can you use on a daily basis?
• Once you have the data what can you do with it to adjust your daily instruction?

District Value Added ReportWith this report you can…•Observe the average progress of students in a district
•Compare a district’s progress rate for a grade to the Growth Standard.
•Compare a district’s achievement level to the state’s average achievement.
Value-Added Reporting
Interpreting Value Added Reports
Student Achievement Levels
The NCE Base is by definition set at 50.0, and it represents the average attainment level of students in the grade and subject, statewide.
If the school mean is greater, the average student in the school is performing at a higher achievement level than the average student in the state.
District Value Added ReportWith this Report You Can…
•Observe the average progress of students in a district
•Compare a district’s progress rate for a grade to the Growth Standard
•Compare a district’s achievement level to the state’s average achievement
What does the District Value Added report tell us about your schools?
• Discuss the science report at your table.
• What are the strengths of your science program?
• What other information do you need to make any instructional adjustments?

District Diagnostic Reports
• Use to identify patterns or trends of progress among students expected to score at different achievement levels
• Use this report for diagnostic purposes only and not for accountability
District Performance Diagnostic Reports• Use to identify patterns or trends or progress among
students predicted to score at different performance levels as determined by their scores on NC tests
• Students assigned to Projected Performance Levels based on their predicted scores
• Shows the number (Nr) and percentage of students in the district that fall into each Projected Performance Level

assigned table
Locate the “Scenario” document on your table
Ask one person to read the scenario aloud
Have a ten minute discussion about the scenario, then ... play devil’s advocate and ask your table members some tough questions to give each person some practice in
addressing questions/situations that may arise. When prompted move to the next table
Teacher Perspective: Scenario #1• Your team shared value added results with each
other and noticed that collectively you are not getting high levels of growth in mathematics from your low achievers. – What can your team do to improve?
• You are also concerned that value added reporting may have a negative impact on the current collaborative culture that exists in your team. – What can you do to address this?
Teacher Perspective: Scenario #2
• As a conscientious teacher, you have read your value-added reports and you are upset that your lowest-achieving math students did not demonstrate sufficient progress, despite all of your hard work with them.
– How does this make sense?
Teacher Perspective: Scenario #3
Discuss the following at your table:
• Why do you think students did not make the progress expected/the progress you’d like to have seen, last year?
• Why have students in the chosen achievement group(s) not made the progress the teacher/you would like them to have done,in the past?
