Analytics in the Classroom

Monday August 5, 2024 11:40am - 1:10pm EDT

Analytics is a buzz word running around sports circles now, where teams are using pat performance and statistical data to provide a competitive advantage. This might be something that seems disconnected, but the ideas of analytics are these we should (and often do!) use in education. This session will provide an insight on how we can use our statistical data to deconstruct our practice, and navigate ways to drive instruction that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

Administrators and teachers will engage in an honest conversation about grading using dual points of view and experiences (administration & teacher) of shifting traditional grading practices in the secondary setting to a more equitable standards-aligned approach that informs instruction and monitors student mastery in all content areas. Participants will leave the session with ideas and practical approaches to begin the process of shifting grading practices in their building and classroom to an aligned approach that moves toward communicating what students know, understand, and can do.
