Presentation Targets

• Target 1: I can understand the foundations that need to

be in place before analyzing assessment data.

• Target 2: I can use assessment data (formative and

summative) to see where changes need to be made to

improve student learning.

•Target 1: I can understand

the foundations that need to

be in place before analyzing

assessment data.

Pacing Guide Format: The Foundation This is where it all starts

All of this Alignment guides Analyzing Assessment Data

• What does the Pacing Guide actually guide?

• Time Frame

• Targets Aligned to Standards

• Target Assessments

• Enrichment and Remediation

• Common Unit Assessments

Time Frame

Targets Aligned to Standards:What do we want students to know?

Target Assessments: How do we know if they know it?

Enrichment and Remediation:What do we do if they don’t know it and what do we do if they do?

Common Unit Assessments:Data collection for what worked and what didn’t work

Teacher Checklists: How the Pacing Guide becomes classroom friendly

Student Checklists:How the pacing guide becomes student friendly

•Target 2: I can use assessment

data (formative and

summative) to see where

changes need to be made to

improve student learning.
