Big Ideas
What does the data tell us?
● areas to consider as we adjust our practice
● snapshot in time● comparisons or
benchmarking vs. state/other LEA’s or schools
What doesn’t the data tell us?● detailed/real time data● doesn’t tell the story
behind the numbers ● lack of item analysis for
PARCC● future of assessment
and comparison data
