Before looking at the data, some key terms/concepts to keep in mind…
Group data • The online resources presented today are for grouped data only: -State -County -District -School -No Individual Student data
What does it mean to disaggregate the data? Disaggregate—to separate into component parts i.e. disaggregate demographic data Language fluency, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Socio-economically Disadvantaged Status, Special Education Status, etc… What is referred to as SUBGROUP DATA. Why do we disaggregate the data? Allows for better monitoring of whether students of differing language fluency, gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic levels, etc… are mastering the essential student outcomes.
Collaborative Data Inquiry Three-Step Process • ENGAGING all in the process • EXPLORING data together • ENACTING next steps …While avoiding ‘foreclosure’ and inviting multiple options
Example – EL Students in O.C. Stage 1: Engaging • What are your predictions? • What are your assumptions? (The two are NOT equivalent!)
Example – EL Students in O.C. Stage 2: Exploring • What ‘pops out’? • What is surprising? • What patterns or trends do you see? “Just the Facts!”
Example – EL Students in O.C. Stage 3: Enacting • What additional data sources do you need? • What are ‘some’ possible explanations? • What solutions are possible? • How will we know if we have succeeded?
Collaborative Data Inquiry Keys to Success • Clear charts (bar charts, line graphs) 2. Uncouple predictions & assumptions 3. Allow for mixed backgrounds
