Analyze data from frequent and multiple assessments of performance by student, teacher, and school |
In higher-performing school districts, administrators and teachers analyze data from frequent district-wide formative assessments aligned with state tests in core subject areas, district-wide final exams, and state assessments for progress by student, teacher, and school. Resources from outside districts are frequently utilized for data warehousing services.
Sequencing of content is aligned with the state test schedule rather than the school year schedule to increase student preparedness for the tests. Teachers are provided with opportunities to learn how to analyze assessment data reports to inform instruction. Monitoring student and school performance is part of the ethos of the district.
At Binghamton City School District (NY), data from district and state assessments forge the foundation for all decision-making.
