Simpson Middle School Data Inventory Stephen Joel Atchison

Simpson Middle School collects a variety of assessment data on its students including standardized test scores, unit assessments, writing samples, fluency tests, and benchmark assessments. The data is currently used to determine student placement, accommodations, remediation, and to see growth and strengths/weaknesses. The document proposes more effective uses such as sharing data between teachers, item analysis, and flexible grouping lessons. It also notes other student information collected and additional data wanted, such as pre-tests in all subjects and reading checklists.
