• Standard III: Teachers know the content they teach.

• Standard IV: Teachers facilitate learning for their students.

• Standard V: Teachers reflect on their practice.

Types of Data:

1.Achievement data are used to determine the level of student achievement in a particular content area (e.g., performance-based assessments, written exams, quizzes).

2.Demographic Data are descriptive information about the school community such as enrollment, gender, ethnicity, economic status, student attendance, grade levels, school suspensions and behavioral problems.

3.Program Data define the programs, instructional strategies and classroom practices of the teachers. Program data collected may be useful in making informed decisions about future program and curriculum choices.
