Baseline+Data

On this page, the process for examining my eMetric data and determining my need area is listed.

The Process: 1. Look at the eMetric scores in your grade over a period of years, and find a standard that you teach that is traditionally low. 2. Create a pretest finding questions built on that standard 3. Administer that as a pretest, and then duplicate that test and administer formatively throughout the lesson plan to see if students are increasing their achievement level on that standard 4. Infuse two tech lesson plans with that unit 5. Duplicate the achievement series test again to use as a post test 6. Finally when eMetric data is available for the year, We gather the data and compare last year’s eMetric scores to the grant year’s eMetric scores to see if there was an improvement. 
 * Reflection:**

I teach Theology and therefore do not have State standards for my courses. I did analyze our emetric scores for our school and found that the Reading Standard, Indicator 5: Students can access, analyze, synthesize and evaluate informational texts, best suited my subject area. In my Morality and Justice course, students need to be able to do this with Church documents. While we did not score particularly low in this area, I thought that this would still be a good indicator to work on specifically for Church documents which tend to be more difficult for students. My goal is to use 21st Century skills infused with technology to help students apply Catholic Social Teaching (CST) principles into their daily lives.
