OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The purpose of this activity is to allow teachers the opportunity to analyze and apply student data in a meaningful and purposeful way, whereby all students grow.

MATERIALS NEEDED

1. Access Quadrant Chart for ONE SUBJECT WITH STUDENT NAMES

2. In a new tab, open an electronic copy of the Learning Continuum for the same class.

ACTIVITY

1. Quadrant Chart

   1. Access a quadrant chart for one class.

   2. In the checkboxes, be sure to select Show Student Names

   3. In the checkboxes, reduce your view to only one subject area (Math or Reading).

   4. At the top of the page, select print.

2. Now access your Learning Continuum for the same class selected above.

   1. Be sure to select Math or Reading as the test you will view.

   2. Once you are to the Learning Continuum, select Edit Display Options.

   3. Group by Standard.

USING THE GOOGLE FORM LINKED IN THE DIRECTIONS, RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS FOR MODULE 3:

3. Looking back at the quadrant chart, identify either your students in the upper left or lower right quadrants. Who are these students? Does their placement surprise you? What can you do from a psychosocial perspective to continue their momentum (upper left) or spark their motivation (lower right)?

4. Now, go to the Learning Continuum, and locate the students you considered in the activity above. Narrow your focus by selecting either a recently taught or upcoming unit of study. What information does the learning continuum reveal to you about this group of students?

5. Using your newly merged analysis of the Learning Continuum and the Quadrant Chart, how could you apply this as you plan for differentiation in your classroom?
