How Teachers Can Turn Data into Action by Daniel R. Venables. © 2014 by ASCD.
We started with our Data Checklist focusing on a team-member's data. She is working with Pre-K students and the focus is on the
ELA Standard: Reading: Story/Text Comprehension-Demonstrate comprehension by responding to interactive read-alouds of texts
before, during, and after the texts are read. 

Then we focused on Objective 3: After is after reading a story, students will respond to questions such as who and what about texts
read aloud.

From there we chose an Exploratory Question: Are the strategies being used to teach this standard effective? If not, what can be
changed to ensure that more students are able to be successful?

We used artifacts from a sample lesson one team member shared with the group. When we calculated the relevance in relation to our
own teaching experiences, knowledge about age-expected skills, the Venables text, and teaching outcomes and strategies. Then when
calculating Prominence, we utilized the data on the number of students scoring below or above 5.

Then my group came up with possible solution for the data that was presents. Below are some solutions:
 Coloring activity to get to know the characters
 reread the story and asks specific questions about the characters at a few points in the story
 Simplifying stop and ask questions
 Participate in memory recall activities- *turn & talks*- 2 or 3 before, during and after story
 Lack of introductory activity
 Modeling how to reflect on your learning
 Using picture cues or sentence starters for student responses
