Data Walls
Assessment is the first step in an effective teaching-learning cycle: Assessment is the key to
effective teaching and learning.
Evaluating the assessment results reveals the information needed to plan for instruction.
Teaching
Using Data ..
…the next issue is that of using the data so that instruction is characterized by precision and teaching is focused on the learning needs of each student. There is no value in assessing students if it does not impact learning and instruction.
Fullan, Hill & Crevola, 2006
Read Doug Reeves’ article Guidelines for Data Walls or “The
Science Fair for Grownups” Data Walls: A success story Guiding question: Why would data walls
be a useful tool in our system?
Text-based discussion: Read silently and with guiding question in mind, discuss in groups of 4-5.
Data Walls
At the school level, data walls are an effective visual tool for representing student assessment data across the organization (classroom, school, district).
It shows the results of interventions you have used to increase student achievement.

Data Walls
In a professional learning community, data analysis encourages collaboration and discussion among members of a school and across schools. Data analysis is an evolving, collegial event, not an isolated activity.
Continuum of Collegialityderived from Judith Warren-Little
Undermines Sharing of Work
Ostrich: Sticks Head in the Sand
Aiding & Assisting
True Sharing
Leadership Role in Sharing
Scanning & Storytelling
Joint Work
Benefits of School Data Walls
Encourages ownership Influences choices in instructional strategies Promotes a wider repertoire of instructional
strategies Builds collaboration through a team
approach Allows school teams to target sets of
students for the school, for the performance level, for small groups, and/or individual students
What would be the KPI data we would want to track school-wide? Turn to a partner and list kinds of
data that would help to raise achievement
How often should you track the data? Pair up with another twosome and
compare ideas Share out with large group
Benefits of Classroom Data Walls…
Communication tool Useful in establishing guided reading
groups (running record data wall) Quickly establishes those students who
require additional assistance (intervention)
Useful for tracking comprehension skills(Reaching Readers data wall)
Supports budget decisions Supports capacity building Data walls influence decision-making
What data would we want to track at the classroom level?Trios protocol: Find two different people to become
a trio. Each person gets one minute to list the kinds of classroom data that would help to raise achievement
How often should you track the data?
An Effective Data Wall contains...

Data Walls should look like…Privacy-Students’
names Spot with no access
for students and/or parents
Specific student’s data from a group can fit
Updated regularly
General Data-No names In a public spot
All students’ data are recorded on the board
Updated regularly
One method to create School-wide Data Wall components:
Problem External data, such
as test scores Internal data,
district/classroom testing data
Interventions For Teachers For Students

An Effective Classroom/School Data Wall
InterventionWe’re doing this intervention to help improve scores.
EffectHere is how this intervention is working. The data shows how scores have changed over the last 4 months since afterschool tutoring began.
ConclusionBased on the data, I conclude that Afterschool tutoring is/ is not helping boost test scores.
ProblemTest scores have decreased 10 percent over the last 4 years.

An Effective Classroom/School Data Wall
Examples of Ineffective Ineffective data walls…
Pros:
•Name of school
•Data
•Progress
•Attractive
Cons:
•No stated problem
•No analysis of data
Examples of IneffectiveIneffective data walls…
Pros:
Has name of school
Pictures
Data
Cons:
No problem
No intervention
No effect
No conclusion
Discussion starters:
Think about making your own data wall: What is hopeful about this data? Who are the students we need to target
foradditional support/acceleration/intervention?
What are the learning expectations inlanguage arts we must address with greater precision?
What instructional strategies will assist usin improving student achievement?
Analyzing Data Walls-Data Driven Dialogue
Explain
Using Data Walls…
Educators say:“We can learn more and faster
togetherthan separately”.
Data walls ensure that teams work onimprovement using the data.
Workshop to make your own… Planning to make your own “Science
Fair” backboard of your data You will be expected to complete a
data wall for your school for the DAAC/BOE review in October.
