PES Data meeting

Today we had the opportunity to look at our recent assessment data. Michelle showed us how to navigate on NZCER and the different reports we can look at. I found this really helpful, especially looking at where the gaps are for each year level compared to the norm.

Maths:
Year 6 Gaps: Fractions, measurement, frequency, statistics
Year 5 Gaps: Statistics, Time, Measurement, Multiplication
Year 4 Gaps: Measurement, money, calendar, probability, equal sharing, fractions.

So what:
My next steps will be:
- Identify target students and really focus on the gaps identified.
- Teach strand in context, using a lot of materials.
- Look at the classroom on air teachers for examples of how students can practice their maths digitally.
- When students are with the teacher, they should be getting new learning.
- Look at ALL the NZ Numeracy development project books. 
- Rethink my planning for Maths. Do an inquiry on different ways that students can demonstrate their understanding of their maths.
- Don't teach what the students can already do.

Reading:
Looking at our reading comprehension data, I noticed that our students struggle with inferencing especially in small parts of a text.

So we identified target students:
Maths: Student I is at EL2 (Early Level 2) and needs to be at EL3.
Reading: Student N is at PTEL3 and needs to be at L3.
Writing: Student K is at PTL2 and needs to be at EL3,

So what:
- Collect data for target students.
- Plan according to gap analysis for the next 3 weeks.
- Keep track of the shifts they are making.
