Part 1: Data Analysis
Directions: Compose 4 paragraphs (minimum 150-word each) analyzing the data from the attendance and discipline reports.
First paragraph:
Identify the most significant findings from the campus Average Daily Attendance (ADA) reporting.
Disaggregate attendance reporting by subpopulations.
Compare the ADA to academic performance of each subpopulation.
Report any correlations you found.
Cite evidence from the data to support your statements.
Second paragraph:
Identify the most significant findings from the campus discipline reporting.
Disaggregate discipline reporting by subpopulations.
Compare the discipline reporting to the academic performance of each subpopulation.
Report any correlations you found.
Cite evidence from the data to justify how you identified the significant gaps.
Third paragraph:
Cross-reference and synthesize ALL sets of disaggregated data from weeks 1 and 2.
Identify the THREE most significant correlational findings.
Identify any subpopulations that are at risk in all areas (academic assessments, ADA, and discipline)
Cite evidence from the data to justify how you identified the significant gaps.
Final paragraph:
Create an initial plan for finding the root cause of the disparities in performance and behavior of the identified subpopulations. Consider the following:
Why does one/some group(s) have a lower ADA than others?
Why does one/some group(s) have a higher frequency/level of discipline reporting than others?
Where/how can these questions be answered?
Who may be able to provide this information?
What data validates the information provided?
Cite readings and data analysis from the ALL data sets to support your rationale.
