I used to only track each class period’s averages on the board. Student data tracking can start really small. #studentownership Usually students who did not earn an 80% will reflect on why. If the data isn’t looking as great, falling between 60% and 69%, then I ask students for suggestions on how we can improve that data for the next week.
I can grade, track, and motivate before students leave the classroom. I like this system because I can do almost everything during the class period.
While it is not individualized to each specific student’s need, it gives me a good idea of where most students need the most work. Each class has a bar, and it takes about two seconds to color in.īefore a benchmark or before state testing, I can look at the mastery wall to decide what skills need the most practice. Then, I color in a bar graph to track the standard on my mastery wall. It motivates students who rush through their work to slow down and it does not shame individuals who don’t hit the 80% because it is anonymous. There will be a collective cheer if they are able to beat the previous class, which is pretty awesome. I write the percent mastery on the board and use the data from my first class to motivate my second, third, and fourth classes to beat the previous classes’ mastery. This tells me that, as a class, we are ready to move on to another standard. The goal is that 80% of students have earned an 80% or higher. If students earn a 100, I collect it if students miss any questions, I mark the problems incorrect, and students must rework the problem.
When students finish, they show me the done sign, and I grade it in front of them. This will take some students five minutes and other students 20 minutes, so I always have some extension activities or Scholastic magazines ready. I have over 100 students! This year I have a system that I have managed to tweak, maintain, and really push my students and me! STUDENT DATA TRACKING THAT YOU CAN KEEP UP WITHĮach week, my students take a 5-question multiple choice quiz over the standard or standards that we learned that week. But I wasn’t tracking the data in a way that motivated my students and doing it daily seemed impossible when I tried. I’ve been using daily exit tickets for years, and they would help me decide if I need to reteach a skill.
This year I have implemented student data tracking as one of my primary focuses to drive my instruction.
