DATA-DRIVEN INSTRUCTION
Data-Driven Instruction uses information gathered from learning results to determine what should come next instructionally. In a classroom, data comes in two forms: formative and summative.
Formative Data is information gathered as teaching and learning are occurring.
Summative Data is the information gathered at the end of a learning period, to include a unit of study or a district level assessment period.
Effective teachers collect both forms of data and analyze it to look for patterns of success and needs. This allows for teachers to make adjustments in their instructional practices. In many instances, this adjustment paves the way for Differentiated Instruction.
