Students to Target: Using Acuity
Data to Improve performance
Math Data
Common Elements
Math had the largest of the two areas for improvement over
Language Arts.
Sixth, Fifth, Third and Second have the largest groups with
Sixth and Fifth having the most.
Many students made progress, however they did not make it to
the Tier 3 level.
This indicates that many of these students continue to struggle
with math concepts.
Most students are ELL students, some are resource, some are
general education students.

Math Data
Grade levels focused on aides working closely with
students at these levels showed some progress
toward improvement in student performance.
The more focused the approach by the grade level the
better the overall improvement by the students in the
Tier 1 level.
Followed up small group instruction by the
classroom teacher also ensured improvements in
student performance.
Language Arts Data
Less students in Tier 1 on the screeners than math.
2
nd
and 5
th
showed significant improvements in the number of
students reaching Tier 3. These two grade levels also had the
most students in a Tier 1 level of performance.
Small group and power hour focused on literacy and comprehension
skills
Again, power hours focused on aides working in one aspect
with students in identified groups and with these students
getting small group instruction four of five school days each
week are identifiable reasons for the growth.
Some holes in data at some grade levels with inconsistency on
Language Arts Screeners being done. We must have fidelity to
the process.

Review of 6
th
Grade
6 of 19 students made it out of Tier 1 for the 3
rd
Screener or
roughly 32% of students who were at Tier 1.
Several made significant progress.
7 of the 19 students were ELL and 5 are resource students.
Graphs
On all graphs percentage is listed on the left, student
identification is listed on the bottom.
A copy of grade level graphs including student names are in

Questions from Data
Please take a minute and fill out the form that
identifies:
What is working in math and Language Arts to help improve
your Tier 1 and Tier 2 students?
How are you using your aides to help you drive student
performance in these two areas?
Specifically how as a classroom teacher, what are you doing to
drive these students instructions?
Finally what can be improved upon in your classroom and
grade level to drive instruction?
