Artifact: Data Overview
Reflection:
This data overview was developed in the ITEC 7305 Data Analysis and School Improvement. This class was during the fourth semester of this program in the fall of 2013. I created this narrated PowerPoint to share the Timber Ridge data that was collected from CRCT results for the last three years. The data was broken down into many sub-groups for comparison reasons. The desegregated data was compared to other schools in the district and state.
This data overview demonstrates the mastery of Standard 2.8. This artifact was created to systematically collect and analyze student achievement data, interpret results, communicate findings, and implement appropriate interventions to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning. I knew data could be desegregated into sub groups but had never completed this task myself. I used the skills that I have with digital tools to input the data into the correct type of chart, graph, or table. I also learned the importance of making the graphs look appealing for the viewer. Adding color, backgrounds, and types of fonts were ways that I made this data overview more appealing for the viewer. I shared this data overview with my administration and teammates so they could also see these results of our recent CRCT data broken down into sub-groups. They agreed that this data could be used to help maximize instruction and implement new interventions as well as increase achievement.
Before I could complete this artifact, I first had to become a more advanced student with Excel. The skills I learned relative to creating graphs, charts, and tables were very beneficial as I continue to use them today to help graph test results. This artifact also taught me a great deal about data information, knowing where to find the state data, and how to report it in a graph. Interpreting the results, desegregating the data, looking at the data from different angles, and communicating the results to administration and my teammates were also learned while creating this artifact.
This data overview had a great impact on our school because I was able to do break down the data into subgroups for my administration. It was so beneficial to my administration that they asked to keep a copy so they could refer to it later. This data overview was shared a few times when preparing for CRCT the following year. They looked for trends and wanted to know who to focus on for additional support before the CRCT Test was given this past spring.
