What Data Collections were used?
-
Pre-Test to Post-Test
-
MAP (Measure of Academic Progress)
-
Aims Math-CAP (An assessment that focuses on concepts and applications learned throughout the year)
-
Student Interviews
Why?
I chose the above forms of data collection because I felt these were the best ways to see my students' growth over time.
-
Pre-Test to Post-Test: Topic tests were given anywhere from every month to after a couple weeks of instruction. These formative tests helped me to determine the effectiveness of my small group instruction. These topic tests also helped me to create differentiated groups.
-
MAP: This assessment was given in the Fall, Winter, and Spring and is a summative assessment that provides data to determine if my students were making adequate progress.
-
Aims Math-CAP: This test was given every other week. I chose this method because it had a range of different topics assessed on each probe.
-
Student Interviews: This gave me an insight into how my students were feeling about their abilities throughout our Math Workshop.
