Say:
Here we are in the agenda…
Before we move on, take a moment to flip to the last page of the IH. This is a place for you to keep track of questions during this session. Jot down any questions you might have for your faculty advisor now. We’ll take 30 seconds at the end of every section for you to record your question.
Note: This is optional to include, but is a good idea especially if you’re teaching in a large group.
Say
The next part of the data narrative is the “All Students” section. In this section, you will present and discuss the progress of your class, as a whole, toward the AF and AG.
Give
G/S’s 30 seconds to read through rubric and assessment template.
Ask / Turn and Talk
What is required in this part of the Data Narrative?
Review
That's right, the "All Students" section should give a high-level summary of
Whether students met the Floor/Goal in one/both Pathway measures
Student outcomes relative to goal (how many Floor/Goal/neither)
Overall student performance, student-by-student ("distribution")
Here are the three things to look for when you review this section:
1) What is one strong feature of the graphics Kip displays? 2) What is one strong feature of the write-up that Kip drafted?
3) Did Kip complete the “All Students” section according to directions in the assessment template?
We’re going to take 5 minutes to read these 4.5 pages
Do: Professor will circulate with a clipboard and identify Grad Students who have answered the questions and can be a warm-call to discuss whole-class, and then call on those people to describe what they found (suggested - award them raffle tickets for participating to award a grand prize at the end as a way to encourage participation and engagement, while modeling).
Ask
What were some of the strong features of Kip’s graphics?
Wait Time + Warm Call
Summarize
Graphics are accurate, accessible and informative. (see slide)_
Clear how many students met the goals
Graphs are clearly labeled – titles, axes,
Figure 1.3 Data is sorted from low to high achievement
Accessible" means comprehensible, intelligible, easy to understand. An inaccessible graph would not be standalone. An accessible graph tells me what I'm looking at. Then the write-up tells me what to make of the graph. That's how they work in tandem. The graph should be self-explanatory. The write-up provides further insights.
Ask
What were some of the strong features of Kip’s write up?
Wait Time + Warm Call
Summarize
Write up is accurate, accessible, informative (see slide)
Write up isn’t redundant of graphics, but provides further insights into the data
His reflection is honest and detailed
Say:
As peers who are reviewing Kip's work, I want to help him by ensuring that my review also includes a check to be certain that he's completed all the necessary components of this section. Indeed, he has given a high-level summary of:
Whether students met the Floor/Goal in both Pathway measures
Student outcomes relative to goal (how many Floor/Goal/neither)
Overall student performance, student-by-student ("distribution")
Transition: Next, we're going to take a look at the "Subgroups" of students section. We're moving at a great pace here, let's keep it up!
Say:
Kip’s a second grade teacher, he doesn’t have a Master’s Degree in Microsoft Excel! That’s why he went to the “Additional Readings” section of the Course Platform for this SGA-203 module and learned how to do all the things he saw in the Sample Data Narrative. You can do that too.”
Say:
Kip earned a 3 on all these strands.
He didn’t analyze high/low performers influence on overall achievement, he made tangential mention of it by saying “Our class average was still above 1 year of reading growth, presumably because scores of high-performers who achieved over 2 grade levels of growth balanced out those of the low performers.” (pg. 4) That’s not an analysis.”
He didn’t compare the performance of students with alternative goals to the overall progress. They were 1 for 2 with regard to the Floor and 0 for 2 with regard to the Goal, which he didn’t compare against the remainder of the class.
In his perspective, he makes mention of the impending “struggle” for his students in 3rd grade reading, but doesn’t cite sources or leverage research.
