Student Data

What exactly is High Quality Student Data?

High-Quality Student Data is data generated from instruments (assessments) deemed to be of high quality

In place of the Student Growth Measures portion of the OTES 1.0, teachers will use at least two measures of High-Quality Student Data to show evidence of student learning attributable to the teacher being evaluated.

HQSD is embedded in the Teacher Performance Evaluation Rubric. It has no greater weight in the overall evaluation than any other component in the rubric
Although still important, the student academic growth “score” is no longer a major focus; the focus now is on the teacher’s use of data to enhance practice and improve student learning

Informing instruction, adapting instruction to meet student needs based upon the information gained from the data analysis.

Considering student learning needs and styles, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of an entire class as well as individual students.
