Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Not Enough Time in the Day Mr. Johny often administers formative assessments to gain an understanding of what his students have learned and where they are in their learning processes, but can't find the time to analyze the data obtained from the assessments to effectively drive his instruction. His planning time is usually consumed with meetings and conferences. He also coaches basketball and doesn't get done with practice until 7:30. By the time he gets home, he is too tired to study data and determine where to go from that data. He feels that his planning time should be open for this. What could he do to become more effective? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Mr. Johnny does need to have time during his planning to analyze this data. He doesn't get paid to do this once he gets home. If Mr. Johnny has an instructional coach, he or she can help analyze the data for him and discuss it with him in person or through e-mail. Mr. Johnny could also talk to his administrators. They often do not realize what all the teacher is having to do unless the teacher talks to them about it.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that talking to the administrators about the problem could be beneficial.

Using electronic assessments where the grading is done for him would be a more helpful option that would require less time.

They need to do whatever is necessary for the students' success.
