Q & A
Four kinds of data charts
Big Picture (combined grade levels)
Drilling Down (grade level charts)
Band Charts
Cohort Study
The Big Picture
Sometimes it helps to step back and look at the big picture of student achievement
Don’t fixate on year-to-year fluctuations
Focus on multi-year trends over time
Let’s drill down a bit
Longitudinal look at CST proficiency by grade level
Look at multi-year trends, not year-to-year fluctuations
Different students sitting in the seats each year!
A different lens of analysisLooks at the same group of students over timeSample only includes students with CST over longitudinal study (matched scores)Allows us to look at how well students are improving on their own achievement over time.
Cohort Charts
Looking at performance bands
Sometimes we want to drill down and unpack a bit further in terms of student proficiency.The previous slides have combined students who are “Proficient or Advanced”When you have fewer years of data, or when students are already performing quite well, you may want to look at each of the five ranges of performance: Far Below, Below, Basic, Proficient and Advanced.
More on performance bands
Another great use of the bands is when looking at the CST Writing Rubric Scores. They range from 2 - 8.For the past 2 years there is only one reader and the score is simply doubled (only even number scores are possible)Target is 6 (Rubric Score of 3 out of 4 - then doubled)Most challenging assessment. Across the state, students who score Proficient in ELA typically receive a score of 2!
