Description

This infographic, created in Canva, defines and gives examples of qualitative and quantitative data, how teachers can use the data, and how this data can help students.

Implementation

This handout was given to teachers during a PD about data chats. The infographic helps teachers understand the use of qualitative and quantitative data to inform their instruction and professional learning (4.6.b). The PD reviewed ways teachers could collect and analyze student data (4.6.a) and how to incorporate students so they are empowered to set and monitor their own goals (4.6.c).

Impact

This handout helped teachers with ways to collect and analyze student data and ways to interpret qualitative and quantitative data to inform their decisions to support individual students (4.6.b). This handout also gave students suggestions on how to set goals and monitor their progress through rubrics and reflections (4.6.c). Teachers now work with students to share data collected in quantitative and qualitative activities so students are informed of progress, and teachers are using more than just data from testing to make informed decisions about student learning.
