• Analyzing data will identify weaknesses in the
  curriculum.
• Modifying instruction to address curriculum
  deficiencies will improve student performance on
  achievement tests.
• The academic content standards tell us what
  students need to know, previous achievement tests
  tell us how indicators are assess.

Grade Level Data Packets

• Previous Test From March 2005
• Answer Key and Scoring Guideline
• Revised Alignment Template
• Test Blueprint
• Item Analysis
• Relevant State Reports (3rd 8th Read Math
  Only)

26
How do I use the data in a meaningful way?

• Item Analysis Provides the Standard (Std.) and
  Benchmark (Bmk.) for each test question along
  with the percentage of student responses.
• You will need your academic content standards
  open to the benchmark section.
• Matching specific indicators is only slightly
  more difficult.

27
What am I looking for?

• The most interesting questions are the ones in
  which students performed poorly.
• The test questions themselves are interesting and
  may be helpful for developing classroom
  assessments that are similar in nature and style.
• A single question categorized under a certain
  standard and matched to a single benchmark, may
  assess multiple indicators.
