Data Collection 2007-08

My data is organized by the questions I need answered to design effective instruction and interventions, as well as by Victoria Bernhardt's four types of data to make certain I am taking a balanced view. It's also important to understand and ask questions about the standardized tests (whether high-stakes or not) being used to assess my students' learning and my teaching, so there's a section at the end of the page with information I've reviewed about South Carolina's HSAP and MAP tests.

Perceptions

· How much and what did my students feel they learned? How do they feel about our class and
me as a teacher?

· Are my classes too easy, too hard, or just right?

Processes

· What have my students learned this year? What worked and what didn't? What do I need to change?

English IV Portfolio Review (5/28)

· Am I addressing the state standards?

· I know the SC ELA High School Standards, but what do I need to address with my tenth
grade English II students in terms of the HSAP?
