What is Data?
Data can be defined as information organized for analysis or used to make
decisions.
What is Data Literacy?
Understanding needed to:
•Find
•Evaluate
•Utilize to inform instruction.
NC Professional Teaching StandardsStandard I: Teachers demonstrate leadership.
Take responsibility for the progress of all students
Use data to organize, plan, and set goals
Use a variety of assessment data throughout the year to evaluate progress
Analyze data
Standard IV: Teachers facilitate learning for their students.
Use data for short and long range planning
Standard V: Teachers are reflective on their practice.
Collect and analyze student performance data to improve effectiveness
Standard 6 for Teachers
Teachers contribute to the academic success of students.
The work of the teacher results in acceptable, measurable progress for students based on established performance expectations using appropriate data to demonstrate
growth.
Benefits and Considerations for Teachers
• Understand academic preparedness of students before they enter the classroom.
• Monitor student progress, ensuring growth opportunities for all students.
• Modify curriculum, student support, and instructional strategies to address the needs of all students.
Professional Development
is the Key
• Culture of School
• Sensitivity of Data
• Finger Pointing and Blame Game
• Window vs. Mirror
NC Standards for School ExecutivesStandard 2: Instructional Leadership
• Focuses his or her own and others’ attention persistently and publicly on learning and teaching by initiating and guiding conversations about instruction and student learning that are oriented towards high expectations and concrete goals;
• Creates processes for collecting and using student test data and other formative data from other sources for the improvement of instruction
• Ensures that there is an appropriate and logical alignment between the curriculum of the school and the state’s accountability program
• Creates processes for collecting and using student test data and other formative data from other sources for the improvement of instruction
Standard 8 for School Executives
Academic Achievement Leadership
School executives will contribute to the academic success of students. The work of the school executive will result in acceptable, measurable progress for students based on established performance expectations using appropriate data to demonstrate growth.
Benefits for Principals
• Gain a consolidated view of student progress and teacher effectiveness, as well as the impact of instruction and performance.
• Bring clarity to strategic planning and function as a catalyst for conversations that must take place to ensure that all students reach their potential.
• Understand and leverage the strengths of effective teachers.
• Use the valuable resource of effective teaching to benefit as many students as possible.

Achievement vs. Growth
Student Achievement: Where are we?
•Highly correlated with demographic factors
Student Growth: How far have we come?
•Highly dependent on what happens as a result of schooling rather than on demographic factors
The EVAAS Philosophy
• All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate academic progress every year.
• There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students who enter a class at different levels of academic achievement.
The EVAAS Philosophy
• Adjustments to instruction should be based on the students’ academic needs, not on socio-economic factors.
• "What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what students learn." (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)
Achievement and Poverty
Academic Growth and Poverty
No one is doomed to failure.
Proficiency vs Growth

Education Value Added Assessment System
– Answers the question of how effective a schooling experience is
– Produces reports that
• Predict student success
• Show the effects of schooling at particular schools
• Reveal patterns in subgroup performance

District Value Added Report
•Use to evaluate the overall effectiveness of a district on student progress
•Compares each district to the average district in the state for each subject tested in the given year
•Indicates how a district influences student progress in the tested subjects
Value-Added Reporting
Value-Added Reporting
Value-Added Reporting
The NCE Base is by definition set at 50.0, and it represents the average attainment level of students in the grade and subject, statewide.
If the school mean is greater, the average student in the school is performing at a higher achievement level than the average student in the state.
District Diagnostic Reports
• Use to identify patterns or trends of progress among students expected to score at different achievement levels
Diagnostic Report
District Performance Diagnostic Reports
• Use to identify patterns or trends or progress among students predicted to score at different performance levels as determined by their scores on NC tests
• Students assigned to Projected Performance Levels based on their predicted scores
• Shows the number (Nr) and percentage of students in the district that fall into each Projected Performance Level

Key points to remember:
•The report shows growth for the lowest, middle, and
highest achieving students within the chosen group.
•The report can be used to explore the progress of students
with similar educational opportunities.
•Like all diagnostic reports, this report is for diagnostic
