What data should be used to make instructional decisions?

What instructional decisions are being made from the data that is to be reviewed?

How do we turn data into instruction?

How do I help students and parents understand the data?
Assessing Student Progress through Formative Assessments
Formative assessments are used to judge the progress students are making throughout the learning process. The results inform the teacher if they should proceed with the next learning objective or engage in corrective teaching strategies. Formative Assessments also help teachers pinpoint misconceptions, plan whole group and small group instructions and provide specific feedback to increase academic success.

​
Assesslets are formative tools aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) and are available for the grades, courses and subjects testing on Georgia Milestones. Assesslets provide information on how well students understand concepts and their ability to demonstrate knowledge and skills in a particular content area or domain. Items within each Assesslet are designed to require extended reasoning and critical thinking beyond basic recall.
​
Assesslets are professionally scored by trained raters to quickly provide data to teachers, students and parents.
