How Can We Use Data to Improve Student Learning?
What data is relevant at your grade level?
- Create routines with data/ standards
- Have students be part of the process
DEA results and growth
Below are the results this year (Test A & Test B)
Note: Each teacher can view their own class drilldown reports.
Discussion and Action Questions: Please answer on team notes
This is just one type of report, but a good start for team analysis. Please use other reports as needed.
As a team, discuss and record your answers.

- Identify the strand(s) your grade level demonstrates the lowest proficiency for ELA.
- Identify the strand(s) your grade level demonstrates the highest proficiency for Math.
- Identify the strand(s) your grade level demonstrates the lowest proficiency for Math.
- Is there an area in which none of us achieved the results we expected?
- What do we need to learn as a team to teach this skill more effectively?
- What goal/ action are we going to take for improving the next round of DEA testing?
How to Motivate Students?
- Student discussions & conversations are so important now with the new standards.
- Take time to talk to each student about the test scores. Suggestions: Have students record on a growth chart. Put students in charge of their scores and growth.
- ACTION TIME: How will you or your team start to motivate student reflection on their data?

How to Use Probes and TEAs (Technology Enhanced Assessments) in Discovery
Under the Assessment tab
Below the Benchmark tab is "Technology Enhanced Assessments" & the Progress zone".
Progress Zone
- There are enough probes for you not to "re-create" the wheel. But you could make your own even as an EXIT TICKET.
- Make a quiz- you do not have to grade!
Administer technology enhanced assessments designed to expose students to new item types.
We are seeing overwhelming student growth with the teachers that use TEAs and Probes as re-teaching methods!
