Description: I analyzed data from our school's CRCT scores to use in a Data Overview presentation.
Standards:TF-II.A,B,C (Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences)
TF-IV.A,B (Assessment and Evaluation)
TF-V.A,C,D (Productivity and Professional Practice)
Semester: Summer 2011
Hours: 5 hours
Population: Grad School Colleagues, Principal, Future use with School Colleagues
Reflection: I learned so much in my EDL 3705 class with collecting and analyzing data. This summer class was completely online which made it difficult at times to get field experience hours. That being said, the professor was well aware of this fact and commented that field experience hours were going to have to include the research hours we spent on projects. For the Data Overview presentation, I looked at and analyzed data from the 3rd and 5th grades at my school related to the CRCT. Through the use of Microsoft Excel, I was able to compile the data and make visual charts that explained what the data showed. Based on the charts and data, our school will be able to see that a 3rd grade area of improvement is math. We dipped in the amount of students at or above proficiency from 90 percent (2010) to 73 percent (2011). While the 5th graders were able to make awesome gains in math, the scores in social studies went from 85 percent (2010) at or above proficiency to 67 percent (2011). We also have a learning gap between our Hispanic population and our African American and White population that will require us to dig deeper into the data and make strategic action plans. I was able to speak with my principal about my findings and share my presentation.
