Using Data to Design

Instruction
What does the data say?
What are you doing with the data?
Mentee: “A third of my students
are not passing my class.”
What type of data is available to you and
your mentee? Discuss.
 Data can be...
• Classroom Based Assessments
• Survey Results & Family Information Contributions
• Gradebook Entries & Academic History
• Attendance Entries
• IEP/504 Information
• Standardized Tests
• Discipline Referral Information
• Interventions & Referrals (RTI)
and more… it’s not just numbers… it’s a story, just not the whole story.

What story does the data tell us?

 How do we guide the gradebook discussion with our
mentees when their students aren’t successful?
As much as we may want…
We cannot simply give our mentees the answers.

What questions can we ask to

guide the conversation?
