Data Driven Modifications to Instruction
|
• The capability to modify instruction in order to maximize learning must be a central component of any instructional initiative. It is a particularly important consideration when a new curriculum is being introduced into a school or district.
• Several factors may influence instructional effectiveness. These include the knowledge and managerial skills of administrators, the knowledge and instructional skills of the teachers, the amount of time allotted to instruction, the involvement of parents in their children’s education, the quality of the curriculum, and the match between what is being taught and what students are ready to learn.
• Given the large number of factors that may influence instructional effectiveness, it is not surprising that pinpointing the specific factors requiring attention in a particular situation is a challenging task.
• ATI uses Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) in large scale studies to address policy questions related to instructional effectiveness. HLM has been widely and effectively used in value added modeling as well as in policy analyses.
• To link HLM results directly to instructional action, HLM results are built into Galileo K-12 online and provided on Dashboard widgets.
• ATI uses Categorical Growth Analysis (CGA) to address instructional effectiveness questions at the classroom or school level. CGA can be used to make instructional modifications with data collected in short periods of time on small samples.
• The discussion that follows describes the use of CGA to measure instructional efficiency and effectiveness.
