Who is learning? Who is learning? Who is not learning? Why?

WHO’S LEARNING WHO’S NOT By Data Zeus (The Dr.’s Statistical Brother) a.k.a. Ron Hoppes, Centennial District

Page 1 At year’s end, we know we have taught. The question is, did they caught what they ought? What groups got, and what groups not?

Page 2 Test scores were brought, and meaning was sought. Low scores caught what wasn’t got.

Page 3 What wasn’t caught, are we sure it was taught? If not - curriculum revision ought to be brought!

Page 4 If we taught what we ought, and it just wasn’t caught, was it badly taught? Better give that some serious thought.

Page 5 Those who caught and those who not, did the scores they got, match the ones that we thought?

Page 6 We know with some thought, that if they caught what we taught, and we taught what we ought, then benchmarks would be had by the lot!

Who is a WHO? By Data Zeus (The Dr.’s Statistical Brother) aka Ron Hoppes, Centennial School District

Page 1 “Who is learning and who is not?” the Superintendent questioned. An answer must be sought! Tests were given and results were got!

Page 2 We averaged, we measured, We announced our case, That WHO’s were learning at an increasing pace!

Page 3 The Superintendent retorted and stood in his spot. I said, “Which WHO is Learning and which WHO is not!”

Page 4 What makes a WHO learn, What makes a WHO not? Teachers? Curriculum? Books? What about the Cooks?

Page 5 If Low WHO’s were wrong On 3 times 8, Couldn’t they just practice Until their answers were great?

Page 6 For the WHO’s who do Is it a matter of luck? Or do the WHO’s who don’t Just find themselves Stuck?

Page 7 WHO’s who do and WHO’s who don’t Do they fly together Like birds in a flock?

Page 8 Ethnic-WHO’s, Gender-WHO’s Mobile-WHO’s, Free-Lunch WHO’s Are there any Patterns To the WHO’S who do and the WHO’s who don’t?

Page 9 Find the WHOs’ patterns They will act as keys. We can teach each WHO Exactly what each WHO needs.
