  7. Teacher Knowledge and Skills • Fit data into a structure for interpretation • Decide on appropriate action to improve learning • Understand the purpose of the assessment • Post-hoc Data • Data analysis skills • Understand data properties

  8. Nature of Real-time Information • Individual • Proximately timed • Reveal insights into thinking • Instructionally tractable • REFLEXIVE

  9. Teacher Knowledge and Skills • Making pedagogical moves to advance learning • Knowledge of likely outcomes/responses • Formulate/select data gathering opportunities • Real-time Data • Knowledge of a fully-formed understanding/skill • Place in the “rhythm” of teaching and learning
