Multiple Mostly 11th, some 12th

Admin passes it down.

Rank overview by total score in State. Averages in critical reading/Math/writing/total for school, Brookwood, Gwinnett, GA, Nation. Subgroup break-down by test. Super scores by the class. Total # in top 10%-top 50%. Annual Trends in # testers and subtest scores. We use the data in the trends to look for areas of weakness, this is why we started incorporating a word of the day to enhance our students vocabulary usage.

Well, we do a good job as it is separating the data by subject area and looking for areas of weakness. However, as with a lot of our tests we could do better with verifying causes. The incorporation of a vocabulary word of the day by itself is simply a rote memorization technique and without the critical thinking component to a vocab word, it is very low-level learning.

ACT All Multiple Mostly 11th, some 12th

Admin Yearly comparison of English/Math/Reading/Science/Composite Writing subtest score. Yearly comparison of composite score by race/ethnicity. Comparison of School, County, State, and Nation.

The scores need to be shared with the 9th grade teachers. They are the ones who taught the biology content, so it would be most useful for them to see the breakdown. Information needs to be shared with the vertical team. Information on the content strands by subgroups so we can look at trends from year to year. The problem however, is that this test actually changes topics. from year to year. Also, we spent a great deal of money training teachers

how to teach students Document based writing. I would love this test which is biology content, to be chemistry content since that is what all the students have just finished taking when they are given this test. We are doing something wrong, the scores went down.

Document % improvement to ensure teachers have met the tier in their RBES goals

Since this is done so late in the year, there is not a lot of time spent on the strands that were weak. This should be done before the beginning of the next school year so there can be remedies for solutions to those areas of weakness.

ACCESS Reading Writing (language fluency)

February ESOL students

ESOL teacher gets it first, then it goes on the data profile on-line for each student.

Reading and writing level of non-native English speakers. We use the data to determine the best kinds of supports for these students and what kind of strategies need to be used to teach them the content and the English language at the same time

Learning styles vary by culture, so this needs to be addressed for the teachers teaching thse student

Other Student-Level Information What other student-level information does your school collect?

9th grade by subject fail rate Ethnicities

10-Rs (10 graders who are repeating a 9th grade class)

Clinic visits

Data Wish List Are there any other types of assessment data you would like to see your school collect and use to improve instruction?

I would like teachers to break down their unit test data not just by most missed, but also by sub-groups. This way they could better understand if there are cultural biases to their questions.

Student performance and trends on their writing samples throughout the years since many of our tests are moving to document based and long passages (even in science.) So more examples of student work in addition to the aggregated, disaggregated, strand, & item data listed above.
