Artifact: Data Overview
Reflection:
The Data Overview presentation was created for the Data Analysis ITEC 7305 course. The purpose of this artifact was to provide an electronic presentation my school, school board, and School Improvement Committee by locating and reviewing three (3) years of demographic and student achievement data for my school as measured by school, district, and statewide assessment data. My individual contribution was that I collected, analyzed and interpreted student achievement data from a variety of sources. I modeled and facilitated the delivery of a comprehensive recorded PowerPoint presentation to staff that communicated my findings related to school summative assessment data, statewide test scores data, district’s assessment data and demographical data related to students and staff. I modeled and facilitated the presentation of this findings at a Professional Learning session at my school.
This artifact demonstrates mastery of the standard because it shows my ability to collect and analyze data and it shows how I accurately interpret data from the Milestone End of Course tests. I modeled and facilitated an in-depth analysis of data from the Milestones End of Course test from my school and compared the findings to data from state and district. This artifact demonstrates mastery of the standard because it shows that I communicated my findings via a PowerPoint presentation video recording to the faculty and staff providing demographical data, student achievement data, and several other data sets relevant to school improvement. This artifact explains that I met with school leadership and my findings were discussed to implement appropriate interventions to improve instructional practice and student achievement such as the Literacy Program.
What I learned from completing this artifact is how to implement appropriate interventions to improve instructional practice and maximize student achievement, and I learned how to develop a Data Overview presentation that includes rich and meaningful demographical, student achievement data not only for the teachers but especially for the students. I would do differently is that I would ensure that all stakeholders are represented.
The work that went into creating this artifact impacted school improvement as I was able to communicate my findings as well as to model and facilitate for others who may be interested into analyzing, collecting and interpreting data for school improvement and to guide classroom instruction. This impact could be assessed by analyzing the next set of data and developing an ongoing Data Overview to be used in the School Improvement Plan each year.
