About This Book
Thanks to initiatives like the Common Core State Standards and Race to the Top, accountability requirements continue to be a reality for educators. Yet many are still unsure of how to use data to make well-informed instructional decisions.
The Data-Driven Classroom comes to the rescue with a systematic, universal process that shows teachers how to
* Examine student assessment results to identify a curricular or skill area to target for individual intervention or large-group instructional revision.
* Develop, implement, and assess the effectiveness of the intervention or revision.
* Develop an action plan for future instructional cycles.
Author Craig A. Mertler sheds light on how teachers can make sense of overwhelming standardized test reports while avoiding pitfalls like over-interpreting data.
In these pages you will also find practical classroom examples and templates designed to guide teachers of all grade levels and subject areas through the comprehensive decision-making framework.
