What Information is Missing?


Considerations

• IIR’s should be used as an additional source of data to inform instruction.

• IIR’s will help us to identify strengths and weaknesses in student performance.

• Each skill or strand is assessed a limited number of times and represent only 1 indicator of achievement.


Additional Data Sources

• Question booklets

• Scoring Guides (Anchors)

• Student Roster IIR

• Report Card data

• School based assessments (e.g., ESI)

• Standardized Assessments (e.g., DRA)

• Teaching / Learning strategies


Interpreting Data

1. Group Questions

a. Strand / Skill (e.g., implicit, explicit, making connections)

b. Question Type (e.g., MC, SA, OR)

c. Text Features (e.g., graphic organizers)

d. Concepts (e.g., word study)


Interpreting Data

2. Analyze and Determine

a. Areas where many students performed well

b. Areas that were challenges for many students


Use ORID Questions

• Objective questions – – What information is in the IIR?– What is not?

• Reflect– When looking at the information, what feelings are elicited?– Did you have an “AHA” moment?

• Interpret– What can the IIR tell you about the teaching practices in your

school?– What other information do you need?

• Decide– What now? Next steps?– How will you share the IIR with others?
