Using NECAP Data

11

The goal is to increase student achievement

Engage in collaborative discourse about data-Using relevant, timely data to influence decisions is considered a best practice

Discussion of data requires a structured approach-Protocols, ground rules, and shared talk time

Our focus is using NECAP data to assess school-level achievement, NOT individual student achievement

-Look for trends and patterns

way? Hypothesize.-Is it the wording of the question?-Do the students need more practice with this type of question?-Are there misconceptions that are leading to incorrect responses?
