5. Looking at Data
• Last week we chose one class to focus on for our introductory
work with the reciprocal rubric.
• Using the data you have (blank rubric filled in for one class
and/or student self-assessments) discuss what you see in the
data with those sitting at your table. Give each person 1-2
minutes to discuss before moving onto the next person in the
group.
• Each person should discuss:
– What strategy (or strategies) s/he chose to focus on for
assessing reading comprehension with the rubric;
– What patterns they see in the data (How many 1s, 2s, 3s,
4s? Any surprises? Any differences in scores within rubric
sub-categories?)
• The next step will be to commit to teaching and assessing one
reading comprehension strategy for the next 3-4 weeks with the
goal of re-assessing with a short performance task in the
beginning of June.

6. Regroup According to
Chosen Strategy

7. Planning for Instruction
• Gather in small groups with other teachers planning to
teach and reassess the same reading comprehension
strategy.
• Looking at Levels 3 & 4 on the rubric, discuss ideas for
how to plan instruction in the coming weeks to help
your students further develop their use of your chosen
reading comprehension strategy.
• Consider your students scoring at Level 1. What will
those individual students need to successfully move to
a Level 2 or 3?
• Please record your group’s ideas on chart paper and
be ready to share your ideas with the group before we
close.
