Introduction to Data Walls

A Data Wall is…• a planning tool that allows you to design and organize

reading instruction

• a visual way to monitor student progress and instructional effectiveness

PPS Framework Review

Table Discussion1. Choose a grade level2. Use the Framework to

identify the instructional materials and time recommended for each Tier

Data Cards

• Fall DIBELS Composite Score and easyCBM Risk Rating determines Tier (color of card)

• Color stays the same throughout year in order to give visual representation of student progress

• Triangulate data to fine tune instruction within Tier• DIBELS individual measures (e.g., NWF, ORF)• easyCBM individual measures (e.g., VOCAB, PRF)• Progress Monitoring• Phonics Survey Tasks• In program assessments• Oaks

Data Card Example

Instructional Focus Groups…

allow teachers to differentiate instruction within a tier and to design targeted small group instruction that addresses identified gaps in learning.

Understanding Instructional Focus Groups

Table Activity5-7 minutes:• Divide your team into 3 groups (K, 1-3 & 4-8)• Each group reads the Instructional Focus Group document for their

assigned grade level group• Highlight critical descriptors and recommended instructional focus• Be prepared to teach your team what you learned

10 minutes:• Use Go Around Protocol for each Instructional Focus Group• Share key points of each, K, 1-3 and 4-8

Check for Understanding

• At your table, discuss the correct Instructional Focus Group• Hold up card with the appropriate

group number

Description:• DIBELS Composite Score indicates Low

Risk/Benchmark Status• Passed all sections of the Phonics Survey• Passed all Scott Foresman Unit Assessments (or SF

Text-Based Discussion Protocol

Table Group10 minutes:• Read the Fall Benchmark Data Analysis Protocol • Take margin notes and/or highlight key ideas

15 minutes:• Discuss Guiding Questions • What role does the Data Wall play in the analysis of grade level

data and the planning of instruction?• How does the protocol guide teachers in evaluating their grade

level tiered approach to reading?• What are the key steps in the protocol? • How does this protocol support teachers to have focused data

conversations?
