The goal is to turn data into information and information into insight (Carly Fiorina). When you think about reaching students in the classroom, you have to meet students where they are. In order to meet students where there are, you must build a data profile of students previous school year data as it relates to STAR, ACT Aspire and ACT. This will help you to determine what instructional strategies you must utilize to effectively teach students. In this Professional Development session, we viewed each of our students STAR 1 Reading and Math Scores along with their ACT Aspire/ACT scores identifying the correlation, what levels our students were on, and what we needed to do to meet each instructional level of students' needs. This is what you call insight!
