Artifact: Data Inventory
Reflection:
The data inventory looks at the assessments given at a particular school and then offers suggestions for how to use the data to increase the assessment scores. Mastery of element 2.7 assessment can be seen in this artifact because it shows the use of different types of assessments, the analysis of how the data is currently being used, and then suggestions for how the data should effectively be used.
Through the creation of the data inventory, I learned how to look at a variety of assessments, figure out how the data is being used in a school, and then providing suggestions for how the data should be used. This is an important lesson to learn because schools are moving towards data driven instruction, so the data needs to be analyzed from different viewpoints that can see the big picture and make effective decisions for both student and school improvement. The thing I would change about the data inventory would be doing a more detailed analysis. It was created during the summer, so it was difficult to get access to the types of assessment, so the data inventory is only a limited view of the types of assessment that occurs at the school. Being able to locate more assessments and data would create a better picture instead of the small window the data inventory currently shows. School improvement, faculty development, and student learning are all impacted with the data inventory, because through the analysis of the data, because it will lead toward more training for teachers, better developed lessons that increase student achievement, which in turn helps the school become a more effective learning environment. This impact can be assessed by analyzing the data after a set time frame and having discussions with faculty and students about the changes the school has seen.
