Classroom Data Centers

• The best part of CI is that it tracks progress and tells us what we have to work on. I recommend it to teachers because it’s easy to do and helpful for the teachers and kids.

A Classroom Data Center• The graphic representation of continuous

improvement • Class-created ground rules, mission statement,

goals, action plans, names/photos of students • Charts & graphs that compare performance

projections for classroom goals with current and past performance 

• In its most highly developed form, students use the data center to manage their own learning and truly become self-directed learners.

• The graphs of our journal grades also help know how we are doing as a whole class. Our journals tell us how we are doing individually.

• The Data Center is basically there to expand learning experiences and to help Mrs. Thompson help us. She doesn't just want us to memorize facts and formulas. She wants us to fully understand why we're doing it and to learn how so we can use it all the time. It's not just worksheet after worksheet, it's using tools to understand the concepts. And I think the Data Center helps me feel like I am really learning and accomplishing my math goals and so much more!
