Reflection questions:

  • What standards/domains was I successful teaching, based on student growth?
  • How does my students’ performance compare to the district or global cohort?
  • What are areas to focus on improving my instruction for next year?
  • If your school has demographic data: Are there groups my instruction is not effectively supporting? (see graph below)

Teacher Teams/PLCs

Teacher teams and PLCs could do the thinking recommended for individual teachers together, and have rich conversations as the group shared successes and areas for growth. 

For planning next year, use data from the grade level below to plan data-informed instruction.
