Whether you like it or not, teaching will involve math; more specifically, statistics. Understanding how to analyze the data from test results will not only support learning, but inform your practice. Additionally, it will help you to provide clear feedback to both learners and stakeholders, if applicable. For this assignment, you use hypothetical test results from the summative assessment you created in Week 3 to help you learn how to analyze the testing data and know what to do with it.

Prepare

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

· Read Chapters 6: Summative Assessment

· Read Chapter 9: Statistics for Educational Assessments

· Research for at least one scholarly source (Links to an external site.) that will support your analysis within your paper.

· See the Week 4 Data, Data Everywhere Assignment Template to guide your writing.

· Access the Week 4 Data Chart and Bar Graphs for test results and incorrect answer choices.

· Watch or read the following resources:

o Differentiating Instruction: It’s Not as Hard as You Think  (Links to an external site.)

o 3 Ways Student Data Can Inform Your Teaching (Links to an external site.)

o Primary Grades: Flexible Grouping During Literacy Centers: A Model for Differentiating Instruction (Links to an external site.)

Reflect

Consider how data can help drive your instruction and better support learner needs.

Write

Complete the following:

· Determine the mean, median, and mode for the summative test results data only.

· Discuss the following making reference to the course text:

o Examine the Week 4 Data Chart and Bar Graphs related to summative assessment results.

§ What does the data tell you about how learners performed on the summative assessment? Explain. Refer to both the bar graph about test results and incorrect answer choices.

o Discuss how you would use this information to inform your instruction. Be specific.

§ For example, consider the incorrect answer choices data and link it to your summative assessment. For the questions that learners received the most incorrect answers, how might you reteach the concept and differentiate for those who already mastered it using flexible grouping? How might you give feedback to your learners based on the test results?

o Describe how the mean, median, and mode different? Similar?

§ Describe different situations in which each of the mean, the mode, or the median would be the most appropriate measure of central tendency, and relate it to your test results data. Which measure of central tendency would be most appropriate for your test results and why? How might you use this data when sharing results with the learners or parents of the learners?

o Describe the importance of understanding statistics in the education profession.

§ How might it improve your practice and support learning? Use evidence from the readings to support your response.

essay should be addressing the questions/points below:

• Do we see an overall warming of the environment?
• Some theorists envisioned that we would see a more pronounced warming of minimum temperatures than maximum temperatures.  This might result in a reduced range of temperatures.  What trends does the data show?
• Many theories that look at global warming envisage more drought and less surplus water conditions for inland or continental locations.  Therefore, we might see some trends in precipitation amounts and the frequency of certain amounts of precipitation.  What do the trends show?
• In reference to actual evapotranspiration, surplus/deficit conditions and runoff/streamflow, what might we expect with a warming climate?
• Are there clear-cut answers in the trends that we see?
• What does that tell us about researching environmental issues like global warming?
• Are there other types of data or information that we need to look at to make a worthwhile analysis?  If so, what would they be?
• What are the implications of the results of this study?
• Can you link any of the climate trends to human agency?
• If the trends continue in their current direction, what are the potential implications for people living in the Wabash Watershed?

In short, we are looking at a specific geographic area, the Wabash Watershed.  We are looking at a specific time period, 1961-1990, utilizing raw, 5-year average, and 10-year average data, with respect to temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration, moisture surplus, moisture deficit, and surface runoff.  What does this data tell about this region over this time period, and what does it indicate about the future?  Does this tell us anything, positively or negatively about global warming theory?
