Teachers hear a lot about getting students involved with their test data and goal setting, but how does that happen in practice? Last fall, we spent two days with Michelle Wiley, an instructional specialist at Phoenix Central School District in New York State. We went from classroom to classroom with Michelle as she helped kids understand their MAP Growth data and get excited about reaching their goals. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how she works with students and teachers.

Explore processes for leveraging multiple sources of learning evidence and other student data to inform instructional implications. Focus on key strategies to triangulate multiple data sources along with MAP data and determine practical next steps to empower students in their learning.

Use knowledge depth, cognitive complexity, and formative assessment processes to guide planning. Delve into the crucial role of assessment in both instruction and planning. Participants analyze their MAP data to grasp how assessment data is vital for developing standards-aligned instructional plans, shaping teaching strategies, and enhancing student success.
