Evaluation Of A Student Learning Data - 1081 Words

After collecting all of this data, I had to analyze it and see what connections there are among the different types of data. The student learning data is really what gave me the idea for this paper. I always look at my students’ data throughout the year based upon the different tests we take to see what modifications I need to make in my current instruction and also in future instruction. I found that the RTI students, both reading and math, tend to struggle more with all assessments, especially cumulative ones. I am the current RTI sixth grade math coordinator and have implemented a systematic way to give RTI students instruction and also for tracking that instruction. But I knew there was more that I could do for these students to help†¦show more content†¦Stressing mathematical vocabulary is also something that can help when encountering word problems, because that can help students put the problem into some frame of reference. The demographics and perceptions data was also interesting to me. The perceptions data given through the parent survey showed that the RTI instruction needs to improve in the school. This was a survey answered by parents, so I am curious to know how many of them know exactly what interventions are taking place throughout the school day. Informing parents of the interventions their child is receiving is one way this can help to hopefully improve the parents’ view of the school. Appendix B also demonstrates that more work needs to be individualizing instruction. This ties in with the data shown in the demographics study. The number of students in the school has been increasing over the past five years. This means there are more students per classroom. When there are more students in the classroom, the teacher does not have as much time to work individually with each student. Finding ways to make differentiation and individualized instruction a priority in the classroom will help those students who do struggle to receive the teaching they need to succeed. Through the survey I gave teachers, with the results given in Appendix D, the school process data helped to reiterate what I was already thinking. Teachers feel that we need
