Data walls are meant to be interactive – not just decoration. Teachers need to be involved in the process in order to fully claim ownership for the results and the strategies being implemented. Having set days to change the data are imperative as well as having data discussions planned. In my experience working with a...Read More
Watch my youtube video about this product: Editable Virtual Data Wall As an instructional leader, I was faced with the issue of not having the room to house my data wall, but still, be required to have one. To resolve this issue, I created this Virtual Data Wall, Having an instructional tool that was easily manipulated, always up to date, and extremely easy to use, changed the way that our school approached data and how we utilized it each day. It was a task to find the format that worked for myself and teachers, but once we did, our school set the standard for our division and data recording/reporting and how it impacted instruction. For the staff, it allowed them to respond to requests for data in real-time as the wall was something that could be accessed any time, anywhere--they didn’t need to come to the “data room” to move sticky notes or make notations. For me, it made my life easier as I could pull this up in meetings without having to take pictures of it before leaving for the meeting. This electronic and online version made our data transparent, easily accessible, and extremely easy to utilize for teachers, school office leaders, other administration in the building as well as myself. This model can be altered and tailored to meet your individual school and classroom needs, and it doesn’t matter if you have state standards or Common Core or run an IB school or a magnet school. Everyone can benefit from this tool and the collective organization that it will bring you from day -Susan Melbye

Goza Middle School Principal Angela Garner explains the arrangement of color coded cards on "The Wall" as they relate to student test scores during September's instructional leadership team meeting. What happens after the test ends, the pencils are down and the students breathe a sigh of relief? For students in Arkadelphia Public Schools, the end of a TLI test marks the beginning of a comprehensive examination of every test question and every test answer. Do you ever wonder where test result data goes after it is delivered to schools? How is that data used? Does it impact the way teachers teach and classrooms are operated? Or does it sit on a shelf or in a closet? In Arkadelphia Public Schools, that data becomes the driving force behind almost every instructional decision, guiding teachers to adjust their classrooms to fit the needs of every student. Every year for The Learning Institute tests’, the district invests a lot of resources, the staff spends a lot of time organizing, and teachers spend a lot of time preparing the students, who spend a lot of time testing. This produces a lot of valuable information that teachers can use to determine what is working and what is not. TLI testing dates average twice a month from September to April, so a school with more than 450 students, such as Goza Middle School, is analyzing about 7,200 individual test results in a school year. How does a school manage so much information? Enter “The Wall.” “The Wall” is the instructional facilitator’s war room. This is where test data becomes a visual aid and the results are tracked test-to-test and year-to-year for every single student in both math and literacy. Trends in individual student, and overall school, performance are easily appreciated once the color coded cards, which show a combination of scores and demographic information, are arranged on white boards on the walls of the instructional facilitator’s room. TLI test are administered multiple times a month throughout the school year and the trends in progress can be seen just days after the test is given. A room is set aside on each campus in the district to house the assessment wall. Access to the room is restricted to faculty and staff since the information on display is confidential. “The cards are placed to show the most current round of scores,” GMS’s instructional facilitator Joan Crowder said. “Every time the students test and the results come back, the cards are rearranged.” The APSD September Instructional Leadership Team meeting was held on GMS’s campus and led by school Principal Angela Garner. School principals and instructional facilitators were joined by members of the administration at the meeting to share ideas about increasing student achievement and utilizing test data to provide unique student guidance. Garner and Crowder’s presentation explained the ways their TLI data becomes a critical role in GMS’s classrooms. “This (the assessment wall) shows the facts, the numbers,” Garner said. “There’s not any getting around it. The teachers meet in here and look at where their students are and they are able to see the results for themselves. This allows us to translate test data into individual student success. We see where we might need to push a student harder or provide an intervention to get one on the right track. The teachers that buy-in see positive results.” District-wide, TLI data keeps students, as well as faculty, on track to reach their greatest potential. “The information we get from TLI interim assessments and the data walls being used on each campus allow our teachers and principals to make very specific, targeted instructional decisions based on the needs of individual students,” APSD Director of Curriculum and Instruction Jeanette Turner said. “We strongly believe in the power of data-driven decision making.” Because of the focus on student-specific results, school faculty can tell what kind of misconceptions a student may have based on the wrong answer choices they make on a TLI test. For example, if a student adds “47 + 15” and incorrectly selects “52” as the answer and that student is consistently making the same mistake, then it can be assumed the student understands the concept of addition, but he or she is forgetting to “carry” or regroup. The teacher would then work with that student individually to correct that specific misconception instead of unnecessarily spending valuable class time re-teaching multi-digit addition to the entire class. The end goal is student success. TLI tests and “The Wall” are another set of tools in the educator’s quiver. “With these tests, practice is harder than the game,” Garner said. “Often students will take the state (Benchmark) test, after testing with TLI throughout the year, and say that the state test was easy.” By Sean Ruggles, APSD Director of Communications [email protected]
