| Mrs. Hoilien’s reading intervention students track their fluency on this graph. Each week the bar grows to show growth. |
Like many schools, at Sacajawea Elementary, we regularly use data to guide our instruction. We have measurable school-wide goals in reading, math, and in writing as well as in the area of maintaining a safe and positive school environment. We try to make these goals clear to our students, families and staff. Our staff holds monthly “data meetings,” studying actual measurements from our reading, writing and math assessments. This data helps us to better serve kids.
Additionally, teachers and students have set goals in their own classrooms. Tracking individual growth is a big motivator. First grade has a “Read-O-Meter” chart in the hall to track fluency. Fourth grade has a rocket in their hallway that tracks individual growth in learning their Math facts. At Sacajawea, we use data to help understand and celebrate what is working and to guide our next steps to make sure that the needs of all students are being met.
