Objectives Objectives At the end of this session, I will be able to:
• Articulate the relationship between the 4 Guiding questions and how they focus our efforts to impact student achievement.
• Analyze and use available data to clarify the achievement gap that exists and expands without intervention and enrichment.
• Analyze and use available data and technology resources to identify students and plan for focused instructional interventions and enrichments.

What Exactly is Data?What Exactly is Data?
Data is distinct pieces of information, usually formatted in special ways. It can exist in a variety of forms -- as numbers or text on pieces of paper, as bits and bytes stored in electronic memory, or as facts stored in a person's mind.

• What is it that we want students to know and be able to do?
• How will we know if they’ve learned it?

Below benchmark in number Below benchmark in number identificationidentification
What can we do?You can do a “number” of concepts while working
with number identification – not all concepts are linear.
• Number cards (to start, just to 5), along with manipulatives to count out that number
• Activity games where the student has to match cards that have the number symbol and the number counted (ie. File Folder Games, paper-plate matching, any die-cut cut in ½) make them color-coded or puzzle-cut for self-checking purposes.
5252
Below benchmark in patterningBelow benchmark in patterning
What can we do?• Reteach using simple AB patterns, using
manipulatives (make sure you only have 2 colors available for the child to use)
• Centers involving patterning of pattern blocks, beads, colored pasta, fruit loops, etc. Use edible manipulatives, OR take a digital picture of the creation to reinforce motivation and positive outlook toward mathematics!
• Use pattern cards of basic patterns – AB, ABC, ABBABB, etc. for child to copy/follow – have them reason and verbally match the cards
5353
Above benchmark in patterning:Above benchmark in patterning:
What can we do?
• Provide enriching activities that encourage the student to build complex patterns– Pattern blocks with design cards– Drawing out pattern after creating one with
manipulatives, including oral or written reasoning
5555
Below benchmark in writingBelow benchmark in writing
What can we do?• Provide ample opportunities for writing – even if the student is NOT writing
correctly!• Always ask the student to read you what they wrote/explain their writing• Don’t EVER ask – “What does this say?”• Always ask every student – “Read me what you wrote and explain your
pictures.”• Let them practice writing in many different avenues – slates, chalkboards,
Microsoft Word, using crayons, markers, colored pencils, labeling, story starters, Weekly Writers
• Always make them include a drawing with their writing – write first, then draw, and give modeled examples
• Give written feedback to students – they may not be able to read it themselves, BUT it always encourages them to write when they understand writing is a tool for communication (which also one of our standards!)
5656
Above benchmark in writingAbove benchmark in writing
What can we do? • Give the child additional ways to write (typing
stories in Word, email teacher and parent, research projects, book studies, etc.)
• Heighten the expectation – don’t make them write more just because they are good at it! Make them responsible for their writing by using rubrics or check-sheets, encourage them to look for the 6 traits in their writing
• Have them read their story out loud to you, then read it back to them – they must listen for and identify discrepancies in the writing.
