Over the past school year I applied the central idea from the book, Data Wise: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Assessment Results to Improve Teaching and Learning, into my teaching practice by using of formative assessment data to determine student groupings for enrichments and interventions. This book was authored by the professors Richard Murnane, Kathryn Boudett and Elizabeth City of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The main idea proposed in this book is the Data Wise Cycle which involves an eight-step process to help organize school improvement using manageable steps.
In general, the steps of the Data Wise Cycle are:
(1) Organizing for Collaborative Work
(2) Building Assessment Literacy
(3) Preparing a Data Overview
(4) Digging into Student Data
(5) Examining Instruction
(6) Developing an Action Plan
(7) Planning to Assess Progress
(8) Acting and Assessing
