 * Depth of Knowledge**


 * Critical Questions to Use with PLTs When Discussing Case21 Benchmarks:**


 * How did the students do by standard? (Remember, there needs to be at least 3 questions to get a sense of this.)
 * What does the standard really ask the student to do / know?
 * How can you use [[file:Question Stems.docx]]from Case21 to guide next steps?
 * It is not about difficulty, but can you identify what the student is really being asked to do? (focus on levels of complexity of thought)


 * Other Important Points**


 * We cannot protect our students from more complex texts. Rather, we must provide supports so students can access complex texts while building the skills they need to read these texts independently.
 * If we don't connect the data with instructional practice, we've lost the power of the data.
 * More resources for MS ELA teachers can be found on our wiki, [].

 * Critical Questions to Use with PLTs When Discussion Case21 Benchmarks**
 * What are your take aways from the item analysis report (red & green report)? How does this guide next steps for instruction?
 * Which versions of the reports are better for the individual teacher? for the PLT?
 * How do you help students to find their individual strengths and areas for growth using the Case 21 reports?
 * How can these reports be used to help students with tutoring focus? pairing for remediation and enrichment groups?
 * How can you use the problem of the day to strengthen skills identified in the benchmark data?

**2013-14 ASSESSMENT DATA ANALYSIS INFO ** __ECMS PLT Data Walls Information __ Data walls will continue to be a tool utilized by PLTs, SIT, and admin. Data walls will be revised for the 2013-14 academic year and will allow us to create data reports that currently cannot be accessed through Homebase. As homebase improves throughout the year and is able to house all assessment data (EOGs, formative assessments, Case 21 and MSL benchmarks). PLT Data Walls instructions and data analysis procedures for 2013-14 are under construction and will be posted here once they are complete. __2013-14 Student Data Sheets __
