How do I know whether to choose the 100 stacked
column or the scatter plot?

• 100 stacked column is best for comparing one
  group to another in the big picture
• Summary data
• Multiple comparisons
• Remember to check counts
• Scatter plot is best when you want to determine
  individual or group performance as well as the
  big picture
• Compares two factors
• Determines correlations
• Identifies outliers

weaknesses as compared to others?
Do teachers collaborate to provide opportunities
for students to achieve mastery?
Are ELL teachers part of the collaborative teams?
