Data Analysis & Application

Type of
Data

Fact Finding: What facts can you

identify from the data? (Just the
facts!!! Be specific, include
numbers when possible.)

QL
SL

88% of students were proficient on

this interim assessment, or in other
words, this objective.

Hypotheses: What hypotheses can you

make about each fact? (Answer the
question, what did you do that
contributed to these results?) (Past
Tense)
I have taught information students were
already proficient in.
The instructional strategies I used were
effective.

QL
SL

12% of students were not proficient

on this interim assessment, or in
other words, this objective.

QL
SL

Student 5, 8, and 14 were not

proficient on this interim
assessment, or in other words, this
objective.

Action Plan: What will you do

based on the facts and
hypotheses you concluded?
(Future Tense)
I will not have these proficient
students continue practicing this
objective, since they I already
showed mastery. I will make this
the summative assessment item
that corresponds to this objective,
since students already showed
mastery of the content/skill.
Therefore, when I am grading
these students test I will
automatically give them a score of
3 on the item number that
corresponds with this objective.

I did not differentiate instruction enough

during this lesson to meet the learning
needs of these students.

Since there are only 3 students

who have not yet mastered this
interim assessment/objective, I
will re-teach this lesson to these
three students in a small group
when time permits later in the
unit. I will also offer these three
students the ability to come in
before school, after school, or
during lunch for me to re-teach

Data Analysis & Application

QL
SL

No students scored a 4.

I only showed students the basic skills

needed to master this interim
assessment/objective.

QL
DEM

All students who were not proficient

were female.

I spent more energy or attention helping

the males during guided instruction.

the content and for more practice.

After re-teaching I will also
encourage students to practice
this skill at home or when time
permits throughout the rest of the
unit.
In the future, if students show
mastery on the formative
assessment, I will not make them
sit through the lesson about the
content they already know. Thus,
if they have already showed
mastery, I will allow them the
opportunity to explore other
features of Google Earth, and
present that feature to the class
at the end of the lesson. I will note
to the whole class that displaying
this feature on the interim
assessment or summative
assessment qualifies for a 4,
going above and beyond.
