2.8 Data Analysis
Candidates model and facilitate the effective use of digital tools and resources to systematically collect and analyze student achievement data, interpret results, communicate findings, and implement appropriate interventions to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

Artifact: Data Overview (ITEC 7305)
Reflection:
The purpose of the Data Overview was to collect student data to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the school data. This artifact was a PowerPoint presentation created by Shana Lampman and I. The student data was collected from the administration and graphs were created to show a three year longitudinal comparison of the data. The graphs compared percentages for 6th and 7th grade, ethnicity, content areas for both grades, and domains in 6th grade math. From the graphs, we were able to determine that reading and language arts in 6th and 7th grade were strengths and science and math in 6th grade were weaknesses. For this artifact, we contributed the creation of the graphs, analyzing the data, and creating the PowerPoint presentation.
This artifact indicates my mastery by using digital tools to collect and analyze data, interpret results, communicate findings, and implement ways to improve instructional practices and student learning. For this artifact, we used PowerPoint and Excel to create the presentation and graphs. The graphs were generated from the data collected from the school administration and online resources. After the creation of the graphs, the data was analyzed to determine which subject areas illustrated the strengths and weaknesses of the students learning. At the beginning of the new school year, the presentation will be given to the administration to use during professional development or faculty meeting. The presentation will allow teachers to see the academic areas of strengths and weaknesses so they can adapt their instruction to decrease the achievement gap.
Completing this artifact helped me to understand how to analyze and interpret data. Analyzing and interpreting data will allow me to determine areas of weakness for my upcoming students. To improve the quality of this artifact, I also would determine the breakdown of the domains for all academic areas for 6th and 7th grade. Due to time constraints and time during delivery of presentation, there was not enough time to analyze all subject and grade levels.
The work that went into creating this artifact impacted the faculty development. The development of the faculty was impacted by teachers being able to view a three year comparison of student data and being able to determine how students preformed on each domain of the CRCT from the previous year. To assess the impact, the teachers will be share during content planning how they plan to use data to improve instruction and meet the achievement gap of all students.
