MATH+COMMON+ASSESSMENT+RESULTS

The first summative common assessment was given the week of October 4 by Mr. Miller. The concepts listed previously were assessed. Prior to this formal evaluation, I've had the privilege to witness the students in their learning process. They were engaged, collaborating at times, participating always with accurate responses. Daily homework and classwork grades showed learning. Mr. Miller never seems satisfied with the results--contrary to my thinking the students have really attained the standards. He is very focused on the students ALL achieving 100 percent of the time! Very admirable--but also can be very frustrating at times.

 Therefore, when Mr. Miller brought his hard copies of the test for his class down for me to examine, I was puzzled. As you can see on the chart below, the average grade for the class was 74.5 percent. An item analysis needs to be completed as well as any other variable needs to be analyzed.
