Data-Driven Instruction

Ideas for Data Driven Instruction:

• Use Universal Screeners to group students
  • Determine who needs additional supports
• Use Diagnostic Assessments to individualize instruction/materials
  • Example:  NWEA MAP's Learning Continuum Report
    • Gives skills/concepts that students are ready to learn
    • Use IXL to match lessons to skills students are ready to learn
  • Example:  Use reading diagnostic assessments
    • Match students to text using lexile scores
    • Match reading intervention to student based off of scores (comprehension, decoding, vocabulary strategies, etc.)
• Use Classroom Assessments to determine next steps in instruction
  • Example:  Most students missed assessment questions relating to a concept
    • reteach concept to students then...
    • have students apply what they learned to real-life situation.
