Team Rutherford Idea from Rebecca Clark

So Much Data, So Little Time

Twice a year, Reading and Language Arts teachers run MAP testing at Singapore American School and receive oodles of data on students' skills around reading and writing. The math teachers also run an assessment, so this idea should catch on quickly with them because it involves utter geekiness around scripting.

Thanks to Jay Atwood's presentation, I'm thinking about how we can make the data flow in a new way.

The Now: Individual RIT scores, some grouping based on level, up to the teacher to sort and manage

The Future: Individual RIT scores, coding to make purposeful groupings for learning, coding to distribute actual activities to boost learning

We won't see data, we'll see:

• kids with similar levels able to feel comfortable that there are others who struggle with the same challenges
• time focused on learning rather than figuring out who's in which group

Now, all I need to do is get Jay the Coder Atwood to run this by the Office of Learning.

And I'm pretty proud of myself for throwing this out there without much editing and will launch early and iterate (Google Principle # . Thanks, Rebekah Madrid for posting this photo on Twitter.
