Preparing for the Proficiency Tests

• The test results page in DSL contains data from
  all the test results SWOCA has loaded from our
  district.
• There are currently 18 options under the test
  results page that are designed to assist faculty
  and staff in preparing for the proficiency tests.

Evaluate Instructional Strategies

• How effective was the previous year(s)
  instruction?
• Did the change in curriculum or text books make a
  difference?
• Did I over emphasize a previous weak area for my
  students?
• Using the Test Results in DSL, you can study the
  impact of your instruction and changes made.
  Combining the data presented with your knowledge
  of the ability level of your students,
  alterations in your instruction, and other
  external factors, you can get a good idea of what
  is working and not working. Each subsequent
  year, you can refine your instruction then
  reevaluate the effectiveness of the changes made.
