WE MUST UTILIZE AN
INQUIRY APPROACH
TO DATA ANALYSIS
WE MUST USE MULTIPLE
SOURCES OF DATA
We need a data warehouse
for our 21st century
schools
WE MUST FOCUS ON DATA TO INCREASE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Lenawee County College Readiness Data
Using PLAN to Predict ACT
• Uses 10th grade PLAN scores from 10-11• Use predicted ACT scores in each subject area• Use color-coding to indicate probability
– Dark Green– Light Green– Yellow– Orange– Red
Analysis• Stronger relationship in Reading
than in English– curriculum vs. test?– lower CRB scores?
• Strongest relationship in Math– instruction in Algebra II?
• Weaker relationship in Science– process vs. content?
• Very few who perform well on PLAN and miss CRB on ACT
What are some other data sets to consider for “College and Career Readiness”?
• Standards Met• Credits Earned• Courses Taken• Grades Earned
• EDP Completion• Resume Completion• Interview Completion• Application Completion

College Readiness Benchmark Standards
• Compare Standards in each subject area– below, at, and beyond benchmark
• Review written and taught curriculum– Which unit in the course/grade level?– How was it assessed in the classroom?– What were the students’ scores on the classroom
assessment?
• Explore lesson plans and activities

• Use test booklets from 11-12 testing– Order extra materials for
your staff (no cost)
ACT Moodle Course
Using College and Career Readiness Standards as a Tool for School Improvement
Identify students who need assistance with the testing formats
• Needs identified by students on the tests
– Writing– Reading– Math– Study Skills
• Identify students who need assistance with the testing formats
– Writings using ACT rubric– Analyzing data in graphs,
charts, and tables– Use of released items
from MDE– Use of release practice
items from ACT– Strategies for completing
timed portions of ACT – Close and critical reading
strategies from MS/HS Literacy Team

Time Elements of an Assessment CalendarSource: White, S. H. (2005). “Beyond the Numbers: Making Data Work for Teachers and School
Leaders”. Lead and Learn Press: Englewood, CO
• When will we administer the assessment?• When will we collect the data?• When will we disaggregate the data?• When will we analyze the data?• When will we reflect upon the data?• When will we make recommendations?• When will we make the decisions about the
recommendations?• When will we provide written documentation about the
decisions?• When will we share the data with other stakeholders?
