Module 9 - Periodic Assessment for Differentiating Instruction

Description

This module begins with the review of a background knowledge flyer prepared by the data coach. The flyer includes key vocabulary and concepts relevant to differentiating instruction. The module continues with a teacher navigating the A+ Inquiry data utilization framework to differentiate instruction by content for students in her class based on each student’s Lexile Reader Measure. Participants will be given access to an A+ Inquiry graphic organizer, differentiating instruction flyer, periodic assessment for differentiating instruction data planner, and differentiating instruction by content table that will be completed during the module. The module includes 4 sections (parts 1, 2, 3, and 4). Each part comprises multiple mastery-based chunks of content. If a participant answers all items correct in the activity portion of a chunk, the participant skips the accompanying tutorial and proceeds to the activity portion of the next chunk.

Learning Goals

  • Increase knowledge of elements that may be differentiated in a teacher’s classroom
  • Increase knowledge of Lexile measures

Part 2 - Periodic Assessment for Differentiating Instruction: Absorb, Ask, Accumulate, Access

  • Increase knowledge of questions that may be formulated to guide the inquiry cycle for identifying the appropriate text measure of an article for each student
  • Increase knowledge of data that may be useful for identifying the appropriate text measure of an article for each student
  • Increase knowledge of locations where data utilized for identifying the appropriate text measure of an article for each student may be retrieved

Part 3 - Period Assessment for Differentiating Instruction: Analyze and Answer

  • Increase skill in analyzing data to identify the appropriate text measure of an article for each student
  • Increase knowledge of limitations that may affect analysis findings relevant to the appropriate text measure of an article for each student
  • Increase knowledge of implications that may be informed by analysis findings relevant to the appropriate text measure of an article for each student

Part 4 - Periodic Assessment for Differentiating Instruction: Announce and Apply

  • Increase knowledge of how the appropriate text measure of an article for each student may be communicated to appropriate stakeholders
  • Increase knowledge of actions that may be taken based on the appropriate text measure for each student

SLDS Data Use Standards

  • K.1.A Question Formation: Knows which questions can be answered with data and how to identify the nature and extent of the data needed to answer questions
  • K.1.C Types of Data: Knows that data come in two main forms— QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE—and that, within these forms, there are other categories
  • K.1.D Types of Measures: Knows various types and purposes of ASSESSMENTS and other MEASURES
  • K.1.E Data Metric: Knows that MEASURES can be broken down into data metrics, which are calculated for ANALYSIS and monitored for changes
  • K.1.F Data Sources: Knows different types of data sources and the benefits and limitations of using each
  • K.2.D Data Context: Knows the circumstances and purposes for which data are collected
  • K.3.B Data Limitations: Knows that data have limitations and that these limitations affect the interpretation and usefulness of data
  • S.2.A Data Discovery and Data Acquisition: Identifies and locates appropriate data sources and can access the data from various sources (e.g., classroom, school, district, state sources) for DATA ACQUISITION
  • S.4.C Aligned Analysis: Using appropriate technologies, conducts ANALYSIS suitable for the type of data collected, the VARIABLES identified, and the questions or hypotheses posed
  • S.5.C Patterns: Identifies patterns, TRENDS, and gaps in data and suggests reasons for their occurrence
  • S.6.C Multiple Audiences: Communicates effectively about data, interprets FINDINGS, and explains progress toward goals to a variety of constituent groups (e.g., students, families, and colleagues)
  • S.7.A Strategies: Identifies appropriate strategies grounded in evidence to address the needs and goals identified during data ANALYSIS
