Using Data-Why?

• The need for communication and reflection.

• The need for collaboration.

• The need for inquiry, improvement, and growth in student learning. 

• A reflective analysis of the data to inform your instructional practices.

How Do You Know?

Data analysis as a collaborative process of inquiry leads to consensus

about what is most effective in program effectiveness and curriculum

and instructional approaches.

Analyzing Data – The Process

WIDA

• The table of grades 9-12 ACCESS Data

Step 1 – Data Table

Step 2 – Graphic Representation

Patterns Identified:

1.There was a drop in the number of students tested across all grade levels from 2009-2010.

2. Low distribution of students at opposite ends of the spectrum (bell curve).

3. Differences of each of the levels is no more than 4 % at grade 10 from 2008-09 to 2009-10.

4. Percentages only tell so much. It is interesting to see the numbers of students across the grade levels for each year.

Step 3 – Observe, Discuss, Document

Pattern/Observation: Overall numbers of LEP students tested on ACCESS in the district dropped significantly

Hypothesis: More students exited LEP status as a response to SIOP

Hypothesis: The district is losing students to other districts

Hypothesis: Not all eligible LEP students are being assessed on the ACCESS test

Step 4 – Hypotheses of Practice

SIOP Hypothesis

Classroom connections: 1.Provide initial training for new teachers in SIOP strategies2.Provide on-going professional development for teachers who have previously been trained 3.Visit and collaborate with teachers at other schools/districts who have proven to be successful in the implementation of SIOP

Step 5 – Classroom Connections

Next Steps

• Future Projects• ELL Transcript Evaluations driven by “Data

Portal Transcript Analysis Report• Scheduling recommendations to meet the

state graduation requirements • Title III program researcher for SIOP and

ExC-ELL impact studies • ELL achievement and progress monitoring • Building capacity of LEP Chairperson at

each school

Next Steps

• Future Projects• Strategic ELL Data Literacy PD for

administrators and LEP Chairpersons •
