with Integration of
English Language Arts Literacy and
Mathematics Common Core State Standards
Millard Lightburn, Ph.D. Supervisor
Ms. Mary Tweedy & Ms. Keisha Kidd, Curriculum Support Specialists
Department of Mathematics and Science
Office of Academics and Transformation

2. Session Outcomes Participants will be able to:
Understand how to analyze and interpret Interim data.
Develop an action plan to support remediation of secondary benchmark.
Department of Mathematics and Science

3. What Kind of Information can Data Provide us?
Data can…
provide feedback on the past and
provide a basis to begin planning
for the future
Department of Mathematics and Science

4. Importance of Data We live in a data driven society.
Data is used to make decisions at all levels of government and businesses.
Education is no exception. We are in the business of educating our future leaders.
In education, we need to be able to disaggregate assessment data at the level where we can make a difference in a child’s life. We should be able to say that John Doe needs help in understanding “Properties of Minerals

24. Action Plan Develop an action for Grade 5 to address:
1. List strongest benchmarks (Winter IA)
2. List weakest benchmarks (Winter IA)
3. Identify number of students: Satisfactory, Limited (Bubble) and Insufficient Progress
3. A plan to address secondary benchmarks, including how you will group your students.
4. Instructional Plan to implement during crunch time to address all deficient benchmarks.
