Reading by Example Newsletter, 10-13-18: Data-Informed Instruction
This week’s newsletter focuses on the use of data in the classroom to inform teaching and learning.
What do you do when the data isn’t making any sense? Our instructional leadership team and I encountered this challenge in this post.
One literacy assessment mentioned in the post is Fountas & Pinnell. This reference reminds me of an important blog post the two educators wrote, titled A Level is a Teacher’s Tool, NOT a Child’s Label.
For a more authentic approach to evaluating student writing schoolwide, check out the Educational Leadership article Looking at Student Work for a practical assessment process. (ASCD membership required.)
