Data+Walls

=Data Walls= Many of our schools have begun using data walls to focus attention on student needs. Several of our schools divide the data wall into three groups: students who are at risk and need consistent remediation (climbers), students who are slightly above proficiency but need some assistance to make sure they remain proficient or who are below proficiency but have a greater probability of reaching proficiency more quickly (bubbles), and students who are above proficiency but need enrichment to continue growing (flyers). Working together, a few of us have developed data wall rubrics that will assist teachers in deciding where to place a student on the data wall. We invite you to consider these and provide feedback to us as to their feasibility in working to differentiate instruction for the different groups of students. = = =Data Wall Rubrics= Amanda DeMeio and I have been working to update and revise the data wall rubrics. We have created a data wall rubric for schools that are using both STAR Reading and STAR Math as screeners and another rubric for those schools that are using STAR Reading and the Classworks Math Universal Screener. So far, we have finished the rubrics for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. We are also working on making a data wall rubric for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. We'll post the new rubrics as soon as we get them finished. You might also want to try the Excel version of the data wall rubrics. Once you enter the points for each rubric area, the spreadsheet will compute the score and tell you whether students are flyers, bubbles, or climbers.











One of our middle schools started using a Data Card that gives historical information for students. These cards are prepared for any student that might be at risk. If you print the cards on card stock, you can post them on your data wall or you can punch a hole in one corner and keep the cards for each grade level on a different ring. Here's the template.... please let us know how you might use these or if you would revise them to include other information.
