Digging Into DEA Data

This Is YOUR Time To Show YOUR Accomplishments!

DEA/FCAT is YOUR game!

You are the

greatest teachers!

What Are We Learning About?Learning Objective

• How to use DEA data to drive instruction

How Will We Demonstrate Understanding of the Learning

Objective?Success Criteria

• Using DEA data, create and plan for either ELA or Math instructional groups

4d

By continuing to focus on DEA data, we are able to have

our FINAL PUSH before FCAT/DEA.

What Reports Will Help Me Impact Instruction?

PDF Teacher Report contains many reports that allow you to:• Identify class needs• Identify student needs• Use information to form

small groups

Class Summary Report

Displays class proficiency by subcategories

Compares class performance

between Test 1 and Test 2

How might you use this report

to guide instruction?

Ways To Use The Class Summary Report• Provides a “snapshot” of the class performance• Allows you to compare growth in Reporting

Categories from Test 1 to Test 2• Quickly identify Reporting Categories of strength

or weakness• This report is a starting point as you drill down

to further analyze student performance

Student Skill ReportStudent 1

Displays individual student performance for each reporting category. This report can be used to identify individual students or groups of students who are having difficulty with this category. Proficiency by Subject allows you to

identify students who are “bubble students.” These are students who missed, maintained, or advanced a level by one or two questions.

Table Talk:Looking at the data, who would you identify as “bubble students”?

Where should instruction be focused to support struggling students as well as enrich high performing students?

A Closer Look At The Student Skill ReportStudent 1Table Talk:

• What do you notice about student performance in the Reporting Category of Information?

• Looking at this data, how would you group these students? Why?

Hmm…Let me think about this!

Ways To Use The Student Skill Report• Identify individual student strengths and weaknesses • Identify high performing students to provide enrichment• Identify “bubble students”• Create small, instructional groups• Create leveled stations

What Reports Will Help Me Impact Instruction?

Interactive Item Summary allows you to:• View the question from the

assessment• Locate additional

instructional resourcesComparative Growth Report allows you to:• Compare student progress

from Test 1 to Test 2• Identify Below, Average, and

Above Average Growth

Click on Q# to read the question from the DEA test. By looking at the question, classroom instruction (ex: bell ringer ) can be aligned to the assessment. This follows Backward Design- using the assessment to guide instruction.

Click on the blue + sign to show how students answered the question. After analyzing the question (Q#) and how students answered (blue +), learning misconceptions can be identified. Misconceptions may include- learning does not mirror question, different vocabulary, or learning has not reached the complexity shown in the assessment.

Click on the Reporting Category to locate additional resources (video clips, lessons, etc.) within Discovery Education to assist in teaching this standard.

Click on the Reporting Subcategory to group standards by complexity. By grouping standards by subcategory, trends can be observed. Example, are students answering all “Easy” questions correctly, but missing all “Hard” questions?

Interactive Item Summary Report

Comparative Growth ReportShows ranking of each student in class based on performance

Scale Score comparison between Test 1 to Test 2Type of growth between

Test 1 and Test 2- Below, Average, or Above Average

Displays student growth. Each dot represents one or more students.

Ways To Use These ReportsInteractive Item Summary• After ALL students have tested, the teacher can PROJECT (NOT

PRINT) the questions from the Interactive Item Summary for classroom instruction. This could be used as a bell ringer.

• Find resources in DEA to support a tested standard.

Comparative Growth Report• Identify students who are making Below, Average, or Above

Average Growth.

Of all of the reports shown

today, which do you find most

valuable? Why?

Using Data To Drive Your Instruction

Analyze DEA reports to

identify small groups of

students with a common

need

Create small groups and identify a focus for

instruction

Locate resources,

such as FCAT Test Specs, resources

within DEA, or other

materials you might have to

target instruction

Monitor student

progress with formative

assessments… How do you know what

you are doing is working?

In PLCs, You Will Use The Small Group Instruction Guide To…

Identify students of common need for small group instruction. Based on data, students can be in more than one group.

Identify the Reporting Category Focus for the Group- This is a broad category, such as InformationWhat instructional strategies will you use with this group?

What resources will you need (FCAT Test Specs, materials within DEA, etc.)? How do you plan to

progress monitor your groups?
