Data Driven Instruction
To meet Essential Schools Framework Goal of: 5.3 Data Driven Instruction, Durham will:
5.3 Collect and distribute data to identify patterns in instruction to change student experience and learning as evidenced by:
Data collection of best practices and differentiation shared in PLCs
Measurement of student growth on CBAs and summative common assessments shared in PLCs
Set failure conferences with admin at the end of each 9 weeks with parent contact and tutorial logs
and more...
Agree on Best Practices
Active Monitoring / move around room
Lesson Objective
Posted, TEK based, and reviewed with students
Students Grouped for Academics -
Student Driven or Centered Activity/ deliberate groups
Type of Student Work / Kagan Strategies
Formal exit ticket used and analyzed
Establish Essential Standards
UBD Stage 1: Desired Outcomes
Analyze data and determine 1- 2 Units or areas of growth for the year. They will determine the Power TEKS ( those with 5 - 8 questions per STAAR or those that students missed the most).
Unpack these ESSENTIAL standards and look at the underlying needs for those Units.
Examine data sources like interim assessments and CBAs as well.
Use tools from LEAD4Ward to establish essential / Readiness standards that will provide the most bang for your buck, so to speak.
Collect and Analyze Data after Common Assessment
UBD Stage 2: Acceptable Evidence
Analyze the data after the assessment to determine what to re-teach in interventions or if you can move on.
Having students reflect on their own progress is very valuable.
Add assessment tool like the one from LEAD4ward.

By organizing instruction around local phenomenon, students are provided with a reason to learn shifting the focus from learning about a disconnected topic to figuring out why or how something happens.
