Reviewing assessment data and raising student performance

Reviewing the extensive assessment data from all grade levels, Ms. Flores and Mr. Ericson aim to raise the performance of students with impairments. What issues do you anticipate they may find?

The first obstacle Ms. Flores and Mr. Ericson may have is that the system only provides a limited quantity of data, such as the type of impairment that children have, making it challenging to evaluate the effectiveness of the school. As a result, there won’t be a rigorous assessment of the data because it hinders the principals’ ability to do so. How can Ms. Flores and Mr. Ericson use the school summary data to guide their efforts to help improve the scores of students with disabilities?

There are several ways in which there can be a summary of the data for score improvement. The first aspect of the summary is to ensure that there is the analysis of the gathered data to ensure that the expected results are analyzed thoroughly. The second aspect is to ensure that there is the identification of the number of disabled students, and this is critical to the analysis of the scores of the disabled students. The third aspect is to ensure that there is the analysis of the scores that have been made by students who are disabled.

Questions for general and special education teachers

What questions should Ms. Flores and Mr. Ericson ask the general and special education teachers?

There are issues which special education teachers can be asked. The first question is about the curriculum that they are teaching. The questions can regard how the curriculum has been designed and how effective it is to meet the needs of the students. The second issue that should be asked of the teachers is the areas that have been taught based on the curriculum. It is important to know the areas that have been covered. The third issue that should be asked of the teachers is what the students have learned. It is critical in assessing the overall performance of the teachers regarding the performance of the students based on the specific areas that the teacher has taught.
