Where can I display my Data Wall?
Depends on your audience and
purpose.
Outside of your classroom
At the main entrance of the school
In a designated data room.
Many other places.
Our audience will be Parkwood
teachers and our purpose is to use
data to drive our instruction in reading.
It will be kept on the wall in the PLC
meeting room. (Room B3)
It will be looked at weekly during PLC
meetings so teachers will need to bring
data notebooks and be prepared to
discuss ALL students.
Teachers will manage the wall and use
the information to make instructional
decisions.


What does it look like???
Getting Ready..
Teachers will need to pick up 25 index cards based
on their grade level.
Number the cards like the example shown (1-25) (with
permanent marker)
Choose a dot color to represent your classroom.
Place the dot on the card as shown in the example.
No two teachers on the same grade level can have
the same color dot.
Put a student info sticker on the back of the card.
Put cards in a Ziploc baggy with teacher name
PLCs will be a
critical part of our
data wall work!
More to come on PLCs after the
lunch break.
