Standardizing Pre-Service Teacher Preparation for Instructional Data-Driven Decision Making

• In Event: TED - Preparing Pre-Service Teachers for the Classroom

Short Description

Research estimates minimal opportunities for pre-service teachers to learn how to use data, especially standardized test data, for instructional decision-making purposes. In response, this session describes the results of a pretest-posttest study of a standardized data use intervention for pre-service teachers. Findings, which include highly favorable pre-service teacher perceptions of the intervention’s impact on their data-driven decision making skills, indicate that the intervention holds promise as a pre-service learning mechanism.
