The Teacher Uses Data to Make Informed Decisions to Respond to Student Learning

How it Works

The teacher: 

• regularly examines data, paying attention to patterns of success and difficulty 
• uses data to inform instructional decisions about whether students can move on, be accelerated or what segments of lessons to repeat 
• immediately responds to students’ needs by remediating and retesting a specific skill, or by seeking advice from the instruction coach about regrouping students or assessing that they are placed in the appropriate program 
• notes and tracks student errors to see if students are consistently making errors on a particular skill and if several students are making the same error.
