"Using Data to Drive Your Instruction" is based on 12+ years of research and classroom application, with incredible results.  The workshop is based on the book,
The 5-Step Way to Raise Test Scores, authored by Pam East, outlining the basic steps of analyzing a variety of student data and then using that information to drive your classroom instruction.  Teachers and administrators leave the workshop with analyzed student data in hand ready to address student and class needs the very next day!

 

"Using Data to Drive Your Instruction"  is easy and practical when you start with a few basics like charting students' scores, identifying classroom needs, and then pinpointing individual strengths and weaknesses.  This process assists teachers in addressing whole group instruction as well as addressing individual student needs, therefore, meeting the specific student needs, rather than teaching a set curriculum. 

 

After compiling the Class Data Folder at the workshop, you are able to form appropriate groups in a matter of moments, determine peers to assist in the learning and strengthening of skills, and know exactly  who needs which skills.  No spending forever on a skill students already know!
