The return of state testing presents an opportunity to rethink how we engage with data at both the classroom and systems level. This workshop will explore how assessment data can be used to highlight what is being taught successfully and what may need to be improved as you begin to develop priorities for the 2023-24 school year with a clear emphasis on implications for classroom instruction. The session will also provide strategies to ensure that data conversations are focused, productive, and avoid deficit driven narratives about both students and teachers. 

 

Learning Objectives: 

 

• Learn to analyze assessment data (state and local) to develop instructional priorities

• Utilize data to evaluate current instructional strategies 

• Identify power standards and accompanying instructional methods 

• Supplement quantitative assessment data with qualitative data from multiple sources.
