Using Student Performance Data to Adjust Our Teaching with Wyatt Crane

World Language Classroom

#144
What do you do with the information that you learn from the assessments that you give students? Even if we are talking about end–of-unit summative assessments we should look at the overall results and see if there are any changes we should make to instruction. This is our own consistent way of doing action research in our classrooms. In this episode, Wyatt Crane, a Spanish teacher in New York City, joins me to talk us through how he uses data from assessments (both formative and summative) to determine what is effective and what he may need to modify in his classroom teaching.

Topics In This Episode:

• how Wyatt collects and analyzes student performance data in his language classroom
• the tools and methods Wyatt finds most effective for this process
• how student performance data influences Wyatt's instructional decisions and lesson planning
• examples of when data prompted Wyatt to adjust his teaching
• how to ensure that student performance data is used not just for assessment purposes, but also for fostering student growth and learning
• how to tailor approaches to data analysis and interpretation to meet the individual needs of students
