What’s that phrase being bandied about right now, Data rich and information poor? I sometimes feel that way. We have state standardized assessments,
district quarter assessments, unit common assessments, tests, quizzes,
homework, classwork….We have the data, what do we do with it?
One thing is fill out reports with it. We have spreadsheets that are 14 pages long
with all the data we could ever hope to know about a student! Apparently, my district isn’t the only one in
this predicament. There was an article
in the Washington Post last week
about this very topic. Even the title, Paperwork Burden Plagues Teachers, tells
the story.
So we have the data, we have a report, now what do we do
with it all?
