I've had such a love-hate relationship with data notebooks over the years. I've always worked in "Baldrige" schools that have required every teacher to have a data wall and every student to have a data notebook. My first few years in the classroom, this would be something that I spent my first week of school

As teachers, we used data all of the time. We use data to plan our lessons, to form our groups and to evaluate our students. This is the first year, I've given my students the responsibility of making choices in our math workshop based on their data. I found this picture on Pinterest and decided to do the same thing. Link to My Teacher Friend's Blog Post about Math Benchmark Data {Taking a very deep breath.} Here is our data from after the first benchmark math test, given some time in December. No judging. The chart isn't about judging. The chart is about staying focused on our goals and working together to achieve them. I'm sure some of you have immediate reactions to this information being so SO public. I was a bit worried about that also. I was worried that some of my students would feel horrible seeing their names under "I need help do to this." But that wasn't the case. When I showed them the chart, (whose name is stolen from The Book Whisperer), I explained what each part meant and how they should use it. Instead of being depressed or paralyzed, I found the students to be VERY motivated to more out of the "help" category and toward the "expert" category. Looking back at My Teacher Friend's post, I am using the same percentages as she is, but rather than writing 0-59% I wrote "I need help to do this." For 60-84%, the students are under "I can do this most of the time." And for 85% and above, the students are "experts." Along the left side, I used I can statements written from the Common Core Standards. For this benchmark, the students were expected to add and subtract decimals to the hundredths, multiply whole numbers using the traditional algorithm and divide whole numbers using the traditional algorithm. One quick glance at this chart can tell you exactly what I wanted to review first. And the students were able to use this data also when I made these: I love binders for center activities. In our school, we use the EnVisions Math Program. I decided to abandon their games and instead have the kids chose their own task cards based on their data. They can also use the task cards in our small group tutoring program or if they finish work early. Each one of the "I Can" statements has a set of task cards for the kids. The sets are fairly small, just 6 cards with the answer cards in the baggie, so the students can self check their work. They look at the data chart, find their name in one of the categories and they self select the task cards. They can also use the chart during our workshop to locate an expert to help them if I'm busy with a small group. Once they finish the task cards (for one standard) and check their work, they can request an assessment. Oh yes. They REQUEST assessments. I bought Miss Nannini's Standards Based Common Core Assessments for Fifth Grade to use after the students complete their task cards. They complete the assessments and I mark them right away. If they score into the next level on the chart, they get to move their sticky notes. They love it. Here you can see how many sticky notes have moved from the "I need help" category to the "I can do this" and even all the way to expert! I have several students who have really put a tremendous effort into moving all of their sticky notes into "expert." Those little pink stickies really stand out when they make it to expert! THIS is what the data chart is about. It's about celebrating student achievement, no matter where our students begin. I don't want to pretend I have this all figured out, because I don't. I've found one way to help my kids focus their efforts in math workshop. One in which we ALL share the data and the responsibility. Tell me, is your data public?

We've completed all of the data checklists for K-6!! Just enter in each student's name and start recording your data. (There are multiple ways to record and we have provided some examples for you, but really you can do it however you want). Some of you have asked if this goes well with our Common Core Galore Checklists and the answer is YES! I use BOTH every day! These checklists are used for my gradebook and the CC Galore checklists are used to keep track of when I teach what. These are perfect for report cards, RtI, data for PLCs, or to give you detailed information for your small group work.

With all the data we're asked to keep on our students, I like finding age-appropriate ways they can be part of the progress monitoring plan....
Thank you Linda for all the back to school tips! Is it really that time, ALREADY!? *sigh* ...I guess it is. In an earlier post I showed you some pictures of my classroom. Well, here is a photo dump update on the progress! :0) Look at that adorable little helper! I love bringing him to school with me. My back to school to-do list is HUGE right now…PLEASE tell me yours is, too! Anywho, one thing that is at the top of my list is to get my kiddos Data Notebooks ready. I created and implemented these bad boys last year and they were wonderful! I use them to give the kiddos some responsibility along with the parents. Plus, any time I had a parent-teacher meeting they were extremely helpful! Getting our Data Notebooks ready is super easy. But I'm not going to lie, it does take a good chunk of time. First, I copy the cover and back on colored card stock then laminate for durability. Then, I copy each category separator on a different color of card stock, again for durability. These puppies have to last the entire school year, and believe me, they get A LOT of use! Front and Back Covers Category Separator Sheets After that it smooth sailing... copy, stack, repeat! I have all the Data Notebooks put together, with the kiddos names on them for our Back to School Night. It is the perfect opportunity to explain what a Data Notebook is, what we will be using it for and what they are expected to do. There will be TONS of questions, no doubt, but it is easier to answer the each question ONCE instead of 25 times! My kiddos record their math and spelling scores in their notebooks every week (usually on Fridays). Graphing is something that we spend a lot of time on in the beginning of the year. Mastering those skills makes this process a whole lot easier. Graphing their results motivates them to improve, they always want to see that graph get higher! At the end of nine weeks I spend time evaluating their skills in each category. I send Data Notebooks and report cards home the same night. The kiddos are expected to have a student-led conference at home with their parents, reflect on the quarter and make attainable goals for the next quarter. The parents must sign their child's notebook, then return by the due date. When the parents sign and return, that tells me that they know exactly how their child is doing at school. At the end of the year, there should not be any surprises! :0) If you are interested in seeing more about my Data Notebooks, you can head on over to my tpt store and see a preview! Now...on to a FREEBIE! Parent Communication Log...I have a file folder for each kiddo and keep thier Parent Communication Log in there. It is a great communication tracking tool.
