Teachers can use data to identify which students need help and which need greater
challenges.
That data can be used to inform teachers’ practice, to lead discussions as to why one
teacher is having success in teaching a concept and others are not, and what the
more successful teacher can teach his or her colleagues

# data[].attributes.body
-can compare data
-can collaborate more

# data[].attributes.body
Data is comparable and easily discussed with others

# data[].attributes.body
Consistent expectations and priorities within a grade level, course, and department regarding
standards, instruction, and assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
-Teachers are collaborating on creating consistent assessments to be distributed throughout the district.
-Improve student achievement
-Provides a greater opportunity to evaluating data
-Educators are given the opportunity to pinpoint deficiencies or weak spots regarding their instruction
-Educators are given the opportunity to better recognize student deficiencies

# data[].attributes.body
Standardized not personalized.  Usually questions are pulled from resources rather than written and end up measuring rdg comprehension more than SS content.

# data[].attributes.body
To identify which students need help and which need greater
challenges. Make sure we are all on the same page and teaching with the same rigor.

# data[].attributes.body
-know where students are
-allows more collaboration
-regular and timely feedback
-can set goals together
-ensure all standards are covered
-comparative data
-make modifications easier

# data[].attributes.body
Each classroom and student is different and have their own individual challenges. Not
everyone is common!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Does not take into account varying levels of knowledge and rates of learning (time test is taken)

One size does not fit all

# data[].attributes.body
*Students have differing abilities
*Difficult to create the common assessments (as we are experiencing currently)
*Not a one size fits all

# data[].attributes.body
-Teachers do not teach the material the same way
-Lack of vocabulary/background knowledge
-Teachers may teach just to the test
-Teachers do not share the same resources so may have different definitions/explanations of concepts
-Students do not test as well on computers
-Common assessments are not differentiated

# data[].attributes.body
-could be a situation where one teacher does all the work
-students learn differently in every class
-teachers have different teaching styles

# data[].attributes.body
We can all be on the same page.
For example, compare/contrast data, collaborate with others, ensure we cover specific standards, compare data to re-teach, ensure grasping of concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are not often familiar with assessment terms, such as "analyze" or "calculate"

Some students are poor test takers and some are stronger than others

Every student thinks and learns differently

It's nearly impossible for every teacher and every school to be at the same point in curriculum (such as the end of Quarter 1)

# data[].attributes.body
- Individual teaching in classrooms
- Format of assessment varies
- Classroom atmosphere can be different.
