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 West Central 3rd grade for 2007-2008 & 2008-2009 school years. [|eMetric] I had to get my user name and password from my building administrator. Examining the scores from years previous was enlightening. We had done this as a grade level before and noticed we had struggled with measurement. This had improved, but with that improvement other weaknesses were revealed. Standard 2: 3.N.1.2, students are able to find multiples of whole numbers 2, 5, and 10 was consistently low across the entire grade level. I chose to address this standard in my action research.
