Baseline+Data

This is the process for examining my eMetric data and determining my need area.


 * __The Process:__**

1. I looked at my eMetric scores for grade 3 from the 2008-2009 school year and found the standards that were the lowest. In checking the 2007-2008 school year, I also found the same standards to be the lowest even though they came up quite a bit. This suggested an area that still needed attention. 2. I created a pretest in the Achievement series and found questions built on that standard. 3. The pretest was administered and duplicated to be given throughout the year in order to see if the achievement level for that standard had increased. 4. I infused many lessons throughout the year using two Fridays a month. 5. Duplicate the pretest to be used as the posttest. 6. Evaluate the posttest data with the pretest data. 7. When eMetric data is available, compare the data from the 2008-2009 to the 2009-2010 to see if there is an improvement.

It was so interesting and surprising to study the eMetric scores for 3rd grade at McCook Central in Math. For the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 years, the students were low in Statistics. I was really happy to see that the students scores came up from 2007-2008 but it showed more work was still necessary. Both years Statistics, Indicator 1 and 2 were the lowest. Indicators 1 and 2 - Use statistical models to gather, analyze and display data to draw conclusions and Apply the concepts of probability to predict outcomes and solve problems.
