When she grades their tests, she records the scores into her grade book and sends them home. Recently her principal suggested that her classroom needs to be more data driven. Now, Ms. Jones is trying to figure out what to do in order to improve her instruction using data and assessment. What can she do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Data does not have to always mean graded tests. It could be formative assessments in the form of ticket-out-the-doors or even thumbs-up, thumbs-down. If you are creating graded assessment, make sure each item is alligned to a standard. It is time consuming, but make data analysis much easier.
