Baseline Data Worksheet
Use the following worksheet to help guide the identification of appropriate baseline data to consider
collecting, analyzing, and using to set SLO targets.
Learning Goal
What do my students need to know or be able to
do?
Baseline Data
What data/information are available
for me to review to aid in determining
my students’ preparedness for this
learning goal?
What do these data tell me about my
students (e.g., groupings, patterns,
etc.)?
Do these data impact my learning goal
(e.g., the distribution of students in
the low, average, high group cause you
to rethink the appropriateness of the
Learning Goal)?
How will I group students for my
targets based on this data (e.g., whole
group, tiered, individual)?
How will I set my targets based on this
data (e.g., progress, mastery,
combination)?
What other data do I need and how
can I gather these data?
Does this new data alter the targets or
groups?
