October 20, 2014 Teacher eLC Time!
Diving back into Data Analysis!
Welcome back! eLC time for October 20, 2014
We are in our third eLC week and so far we have reviewed what eLCs are and why they are effective; worked on the new VTAP process; talked about why we MUST collaborate about data to make an impacting difference in student learning; reviewed the four types of data and connected these back to our past eLC work; and finally, we analyzed the first three tables of the student survey perception data.
This week, we will look at remaining tables with further analysis, think about connections and next steps, and do a survey to gather your thoughts.
So let's get started!
Quick Review and First Reflection
Science teacher and Instructional Leader, Jeni Day, created this Smore on our Three Instructional Pillars. Take a look! Although this is not a review since we live it out everyday, read to see if any information stands out to you that maybe you haven't thought about in a while! We have not started to implement Pillar 4 officially outside of our OCS program, but you will still see that information here.

Now that you have viewed the Instructional Pillars Smore, let's start reflecting!
Your Instructional Leader will copy the new eLC tab (October 20, 2014) into your eLC Google document spreadsheet entitled, "YOUR COURSE eLC Reflections 2014 - 2015."
Using the October 20, 2014 tab, reflect (Reflection #1 Week of October 20th) on this question: Did you have any kind of ah-ha moment when viewing the Smore? What stuck with you?

By focusing on the "right things," we can impact student learning!
We want to collaborate on our student survey perception data from Spring 2014. Click on the link below. (Thank you to our Quality Assurance Coordinator, Melissa Davis, for compiling this data!)
SPRING 2014 STUDENT SURVEY DATA
Last week you reviewed Tables 1, 2, and 3. Today, we are going to analyze the rest of the Tables.
Go back to Tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Reread through all the questions and percentage responses to refresh your memory if needed.
Using the October 20, 2014 tab on your team's Google doc, reflect on these questions:
Reflection #2 Week of October 20th: What does this data tell you?
Reflection #3 Week of October 20th: What does this data NOT tell you?
Reflection #4 Week of October 20th: What are the celebrations about the data?
Reflection #5 Week of October 20th: What opportunities for improvement does the data allow us?
Reflection #6 Week of October 20th: Take a look back at the DuFours' Four Critical Questions (last week's Smore) -- how does your review of the data from the questions above connect back to these Four Critical Questions?
Wait a few days and come back to this document and read through your team's responses.
Reflection #7 Week of October 20th: What common ideas do you see?
Take a few minutes to refresh your brain on your team's responses on Tables 1 through 3 from last week.
Reflection #8 Week of October 20th: Based on the common ideas and thoughts of your team, what could be/should be your team's first action step pertaining to this data to improve student learning?
Let's wrap it up!
Here is a brief survey for you, while it is all fresh in your brain, to capture your thoughts about this data and its connection to our work at NCVPS.

Thank you for your work this week! Next week....the data fun continues with more analysis, this time student learning data!
