Baseline+Data



On this page, the process for examining my eMetric data and determining my need area is listed.

The Process: 1.  Look at the eMetric scores in your grade over a period of years, and find a standard that you teach that is traditionally low. 2.  Create a pretest in Achievement series finding questions built on that standard 3.  Administer that as a pretest, and then duplicate that test and administer formatively throughout the lesson plan to see if students are increasing their achievement level on that standard 4.  Infuse two tech lesson plans with that unit 5.  Duplicate the achievement series test again to use as a post test 6.  Finally when eMetric data is available for the year, We gather the data and compare last year’s eMetric scores to the grant year’s eMetric scores to see if there was an improvement.  My reflection:

I looked at the eMetric scores for Countryville 6th grade for 2008-2009. [|eMetric] I had to get my user name and password from my building administrator. Examining the scores from the year before was eye-opening. With all of my years teaching experience I really thought the students would be low in a different area. My classroom has been low in the same standard for the past four years.

The 2008 Reading test scores indicate that Standard 6.R.2.2 was the lowest in the class. Four people in the class missing all of the questions on that standard. The standard deals with 'Understanding Figurative Language'. I will focus my Lesson plans on this standard.
