Looking at a Class’s Performance

• Typically, begin with group data

• NRT Summary Dashboard (for a quick picture)

• Class Dashboard (TerraNova NRT and objectives)

• Then begin to focus on more specific data

• Narrow down filters to NP or NCE scores

• Drill down into the TerraNova content data

• Identify Objectives where performance is strong or weak

Let’s Review

1. Begin with the Big Picture

• NRT Summary Dashboard bar graph

• Target areas of low or discrepant performance

2. Drill down into the targeted areas

• Class Dashboard = performance on TN3 objectives

• Rank order by students’ NPs or NCEs

• Consider instructional grouping

• Identify areas where curriculum/instruction review is needed

3. Take the necessary “Next Steps” to improve curriculum and instruction in targeted areas

®Developed under Contract with ACSI by CTB/McGraw-Hill LLC (CTB)

Developed under Contract with ACSI by CTB/McGraw-Hill LLC (CTB)

Next Steps…1. Examine the curriculum and instructional program in

the targeted area:

Focus on identified Challenge objectives

What are the major topics & skills addressed in the current curriculum?

Is differentiated instruction (grouping) used in instruction?

Note key instructional strategies & practice for each targeted Objective area.

Look at the curriculum calendar – when are skills taught & for how long?

Examine instructional resources & materials

2. Review Teacher’s Guide, TerraNova 3rd Edition

Understand the subskills assessed for targeted objectives

Look at the Next Grade Level

• Last Spring’s 4th graders = this year’s 5th graders

• Use small group instruction

On/above grade level students keep them moving

Below grade level students accelerate their progress

• Review the analysis of previous year’s curriculum & instruction

What foundation do students have for this year?

What weak areas need to be addressed?

• Review Teacher’s Guide, TerraNova 3

What bridges are needed from one grade to the next grade?
