  6. National Assessment of Educational Progress Long-term Trend NAEP • is administered every four years. • includes mathematics and reading only. • is used to compare today’s students with those of over 30 years ago.

  7. Stop and Think • Who are the learners in your class? • What are their specific needs? • How will you differentiate to support their learning?

  8. English Language Learners • English language learners (ELLs) are the fastest-growing population in U.S. Schools. • In North Carolina, from school year 1997-1998 to 2007-2008, the ELL population grew 269.8%. • Today ELLs make up almost 7% of NC school students and speak more than 200 different languages.

  9. Diverse Learners • WIDA standards http://esl.ncwiseowl.org/w_i_d_a/w_i_d_a_standards/ • NC AIG program standards approved by the SBE 2009 http://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/academicservices/gifted/aig-program-standards.pdf

  10. Theory to Practice Task • Visit the NAEP website at: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ • Go to the Sample Questions, Analyze Data and More link on the left • Review sample questions • Visit the ACRE Website at: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/ • Bookmark the Common Core or Essential Standards site for your content area • Bookmark the Unpacking and Crosswalk documents for your content area

  11. Theory to Practice Task After reviewing the crosswalk documents provided by DPI, what is the most significant change you anticipate in your classroom as we transition to the new standards?

  12. Theory to Practice Task Identify one success or one challenge from the 2010-2011 school year. • Reflect on what you might learn from that success or challenge. • Propose what you will do differently as a result of what you learned.

  13. Data Focus

  14. DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING “Discover What Is Possible”

  15. “The goal is to transform data into information and information into insight.” Carly Fiorina, Executive and president of Hewlett-Packard Co. in 1999. Chairwoman in 2000.

  16. …Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all. -  Charles Babbage British Mathematician and Inventor, 1791-1871

  17. Show percentages of the whole Make “true” comparisons easier Avoids the pitfall of averages allowing for “outliers” to skew the “data picture” Great for showing summary of results Easier to show trend data

  18. Establish your baseline and set your goals.
