What Kind of Information can
Data Provide us?
Data can…
provide feedback on the past and
provide a basis to begin planning

We live in a data driven society.
Data is used to make decisions at all levels of
government and businesses.
Education is no exception. We are in the
business of educating our future leaders.
In education, we need to be able to
disaggregate assessment data at the level
where we can make a difference in a child’s
life. We should be able to say that John Doe
needs help in understanding “Properties of
Minerals”

Purpose: Track progress of teaching and
learning by monitoring achievement on
NGSSS benchmarks.
Useful to track changes in performance by
benchmarks from baseline to Fall IA and to
Winter IA.
Great tool to plan intervention or to plan for
crunch time support.

After FCAT 2.0 scores were released, MDCPS
correlated Interim scores to FCAT scale
scores to set cut scores for proficiency levels
for interims. (Winter & Fall cut scores)
After FCAT 2.0 scores were released, DOE
develop cut scores for achievement levels.

Develop an action for Grade 5 to address:
1. List strongest benchmarks (Winter IA)
2. List weakest benchmarks (Winter IA)
3. Identify number of students: Satisfactory,
Limited (Bubble) and Insufficient Progress
3. A plan to address secondary benchmarks,
including how you will group your students.
4. Instructional Plan to implement during crunch
time
Gr 5 Science Winter Interim Cut Scores
Satisfactory: Raw score (36-68) (53% or higher)
Limited: Raw score (33-35) (49-51%)
