used in pupil progression plans, determining factors for student

promotion/graduation, and used when determining teacher effectiveness. We will

explore the possibilities during this session.

What questions can be answered with student test results?

Are the students performing at grade level?

Are students progressing at an acceptable rate?

How do our students “stack up” against students in other schools in our district or to

students in schools from other districts in our state?

How does our district’s overall performance compare to other districts in our state or

districts across the country?

A multitude of Statistical Analysis is performed

using student testing dataCollect, organize, analyze

The value of statistics lies with organizing and simplifying data, to allow for some type of approximation that

shows an analysis has been well thought out AND that results are valid. The results must be documented

and retrievable.

Triangulated data – allows us cross-verify results from multiple sources. The most important function is the

comparison of data, or sets of data, to measure accuracy and validity.

Longitudinal studies – allows us to watch progress across multiple years – repeat the same analysis for a long

period of time.
