Math and English Language Arts Student Data Tracking Binders and a Freebie

95 Comments

Note: For those of you who are familiar with Robert Marzano, you can see I am following his fabulous book, The Art and Science of Teaching. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to read it, it’s ok! Keep reading on, and I promise you won’t even need the book to implement student data tracking! 

Research shows that when students track their own learning and data, they take ownership of their learning, have intrinsic motivation, and perform better on high-stakes tests.

Today, I want to talk to you about the next step on this student data tracking journey. Marzano’s book brings up several important questions:

  • How will I establish and communicate learning goals?
  • How will I track students’ progress?
  • How will I celebrate successes?
  • What will I do to help students effectively interact with the new knowledge?

The answer? My Editable Math and ELA Student Data Tracking Binders.

I stated in a previous post that I had over 75% of my class WELL above grade level for math and English Language Arts due to these Student Data Tracking Binders. Seriously! I am by no means an expert teacher, but I do believe in these methods, which is why I love to share the successes.

When it comes to your students tracking their own data (learning and progress), each student should have their own Student Data Tracking Binder. This is so that they can keep track of their individual progress as the unit (math or ELA) occurs in your classroom.

{Click the links to check out my Student Data Tracking Binders for both ELA and Math in grades 2 through 6.}

With these Student Data Tracking Binders, I created and posted learning targets with my students. I also allowed my students to create and set their own learning targets using the learning standards. All of my students’ learning targets came from my “I can” or “We can” statements posters, which are written in kid language and are very easy to understand. You can find these in my store.

Student Data Tracking Binder by Kristine Nannini

What is the purpose of the “I can” or “We can” statements? Well, as teachers, we need to understand exactly what each standard calls for in order to communicate what we want students to know and/or be able to do once the standard has been taught. When looking at both the Math and English Language Arts standards, we have to take the items identified in the standards and translate them into measurable, descriptive language that students can understand.

Can your students understand a standard that says, “Explain how a series of chapters, scenes, or stanzas fit together to provide the overall structure of a particular story, drama, or poem?”  Maybe some students can interpret this, but most can’t.

Ultimately, these standards become the students’ learning targets and will determine what your students will know and/or be able to do at the end of the unit or standard, so it’s important they understand them. That is why I wrote them in kid-friendly language throughout this entire resource.

Now, getting back to the meat of the binder! Within each binder, each student will receive:

  • A checklist page of learning targets that are written in kid language and are based on the grade level’s standards
  • A table-like page of the same learning targets as above in order for students to rate it/date it (see below) and record their post-assessment scores
  • Pre- and post-assessment graphs to graph their data
  • Levels of Understanding posters (levels 0 through 4)
  • Levels of Understanding rubrics

Here is how my Student Data Tracking Binders work:

1.) Introduce and explain the “I can” statement for each new lesson/standard.

Get your students familiar with the checklist of “I can” statements. Although this isn’t a necessity, you should make a data wall and post the kid language standards on it. My posters align with the checklists of “I can” statements. 

As a class, you can work to check off each “I can” statement as they are taught, or depending on your class, allow students the freedom to check off the statements on their own to give them a bit more independence in their learning.

Student Data Tracking Binder by Kristine Nannini


2.) Have the students rate and date their understanding in their Student Data Tracking Binder.

The “rate it/date it” idea is my original idea, and comes from Marzano’s The Art and Science of Teaching. In my classroom, students are rating their level of understanding on a particular standard, I can statement, and/or their performance on a pre- and post-assessment. 

Student Data Tracking Binders- by Kristine Nannini


I always have them show me their level of understanding so that I can gauge the room and see how they are feeling about a particular standard. Do know that even your high kids will be a level 0 or 1 at the very beginning of a standard. The good news is you can only go up! :)

Student Data Tracking Binder- Start Your Year Off Right- by Kristine Nannini

We “rate it/date it” a few times throughout a unit. I typically have them rate their understanding before any teaching of the unit or standard, while they are in the middle of learning the unit or standard, and at the end of the unit or standard. I promise you they are always honest about this. It’s a very quick process. Once they show me, they write their level of understanding and the date in their Student Data Tracking Binders.

 

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini

You can see that this section of their Student Data Tracking Binder is in a table-like format with room to document the start date of the unit or standard, their rate it/date it levels, and then room to document their post-assessment score (see below).

 

You can read more about the posters and rubrics that go with the “rate it/date it” section HERE. And you can grab a free “analogy” poster that I created, to help teach students what each level actually means.

 

3.) Pre-assess students on a particular standard. 

I created Math Assessments and Teaching Notes for grades 2 through 6, and currently have English Language Arts Assessments and Teaching Notes for grades 3, 4, 5, and 6. They are aligned to the standards and are perfect to use with my Student Data Tracking Binders, but can also be used without them. These assessments are used for both the pre- and post-assessments. As teachers, we know that pre-assessments plays an important role in your ability to differentiate instruction. You administer pre-assessments in order to understand what students know and are able to do before you begin instruction. 

4.) Grade the pre-assessments, hand back the pre-assessments, and have students record and graph their scores in their Student Data Tracking Binder.

Once the assessments are graded and handed back, have the students record their pre-assessment scores in their Student Data Tracking Binders and color in their scores on their graphs (also included in my Student Data Tracking Binders). 

 

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini


Remember that their pre-assessment scores will most likely be low. This is perfectly normal. Most students have not seen this material before. 

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini

5.) Use the pre-assessment data to form your small group instruction and/or teach the unit or standard. 

The pre-assessment data is used to plan your teaching and group your students (if you teach math and ELA in small groups vs. whole class). You can group students with similar strengths and weaknesses so that you can effectively emphasize particular concepts to various groups. Obviously, you can spend less time on subjects that students are proficient in across the board or group students with similar strengths and needs to focus time on the concepts that are most needed. Throughout the learning and teaching, you can also give quick formative assessments to gauge their understanding of your teaching (I may do a few problems on a sticky note, white board, etc.).

I have a Teacher Data Tracking Binder that makes group planning and organization a breeze! Check it out HERE.

6.) Have students rate it/date it a few times throughout the teaching of a unit or standard, and record their level of understanding in their Student Data Tracking Binder.

Student Data Tracking Binder by Kristine Nannini

7.) At the completion of the unit, post-assess students on that standard.

At the end of the unit, give your students the post-assessment (same test). Click here to see the pre- and post-assessments I use. 

8.) Grade the post-assessments, hand back the post-assessments, and have students record and graph their scores in their Student Data Tracking Binder.

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini


Note: I have my students color code their scores. Anything in green means a score of 80% or higher, yellow means 70%, and red means anything below a 70%. This allows for a quick visual view and is great for parents to see as well.

Giving students the ability to actually see the progress they make is an incredible thing. With this quick visual, they are now taking ownership and responsibility for their learning and are extremely excited about the results they see. 

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini
I have now added a page with the pre- and post-assessment graphs on one page for an even easier visual. 

 

Student Data Tracking Binder- by Kristine Nannini

9.) Go to the checklist of standards or “I can” statements in the Student Data Tracking Binder, and check off the completed standard. 

Student Data Tracking Binder by Kristine Nannini

EASY!? YES!

Like I said, these binders have been an amazing tool in my classroom. I absolutely love the organization of them, and my kids love them as well. They have even changed my parent/teacher conferences for the better, because I now have easy-to-understand feedback I can give to both parents and students with these Student Data Tracking Binders. Not to mention, they have given my students so much intrinsic motivation. They are excited to fill out their Student Data Tracking Binders each day and note their progress.

To help keep you and your students organized, I created this freebie. They are my Student Data Tracking Binder Covers and Binder Spines! Click HERE to check them out!

    One of the differences between ‘effective’ and ‘highly effective’ on our evaluations is whether or not we have students track their own data. I was hoping I’d find something to help me implement it…Yay!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work on these!

    I LOVE this! I’ve been having my kids track their progress with “did it dots” – at the beginning of each unit I give them a tracking sheet with each standard for the unit. At the end of each lesson they have an exit card that matches the day’s standard. I grade the exit card each night and if they met all the expectations they earn a sticker. The next day I pass back the exit cards at the beginning of math and address any misconceptions. The kids who earned the stickers add them to their tracking sheet. They refer to it each day to assess their own progress and make goals for upcoming assessments based on it. I’ve seen so much more engagement this year than in years past. I think combining this with your binders when we go CC next year will be great!

    I’m so glad to see that you are adding first grade. We’ve been having our students track their progress in Data Notebooks for that last two years and then holding Student-Led Conferences where the students show their parents their progress in their Data Notebooks. I like how you have the “I Can” statements in the Binder. We’ve talked about adding the pre-test scores for next year and I’m also going to bring up putting the “I Can” statements in there. I’m also new to the blogging scene and I’m so glad I came across yours!

    I love your ideas! I am teaching K-5 Resource this year and am working hard to modify this for my needs. I will mainly be pulling students out for math intervention. Any tips? I would appreciate any assistance brainstorming. :)

    Hi Kristine – This looks like what my district is asking for…but I am having a hard time thinking about how to incorporate this into my 1st grade class. Are you thinking of making a binder for that age group? Any suggestions would be helpful!

    I love this and would really like to implement it with my 5th grade gifted class room. We haven’t adopted common core here in Virginia and use the Virginia SOLs… Any suggestions to edit your materials for our standards?

    @Saundra-Thanks so much! Unfortunately these resources aren’t editable due to the terms of use on all clipart, fonts, borders, etc. in the documents. The artists of these have terms of use that state that I must use them in a secure PDF file. If you look up your state’s standards and compare them with Common Core, you can see how they align. Most state’s standards are pretty similar to the core. I hope that helps.

    This will be my school districts first year to use Standards Based Report Cards (other than in kindergarten). However, I teach first grade and I didn’t see anything to indicate your forms were editable (due to the differences in the grade-level standards). Could first grade be coming out soon?

    Hi! I’m very interested in your tracking binder but when I click on the links they take me to Teachers Pay Teachers and then to a Editing Writing Dialogue WS. I was wondering if I could find them somewhere else? Thank you for your time and such a wonderful resource.

    This is a super awesome idea to help students’ take ownership of their learning. I will defintely share these ideas and strategies with the teachers I support to improve student learning and understanding. However, I am curious…in your color coding scale for assessments you stated that green is for 80% or higher, yellow is for 70% and red is for below 70% or 69% or lower. But what color does a student who scores 71-79% use?

    If there are multiple I can statements for a particular standard do you rate all of the I Can statements before the pretest? The apply the same percent to each I CAN statement after the posttest?

      Hi Denise- Thanks for your question! It really depends on your students and how you manage a standard. In my classroom, we do typically rate all of the I Can statements that relate to the pre- and post-assessment and the standard we are working on. I hope that helps!

    Question, you mentioned the book The Art and Science of Teaching by Marzano. I was curious which version you are referring to, is it the Comprehensive Framework or the Fifty New Instructional Strategies? I am just curious because I would like to add this to my Summer Reading and my work with Quality Improvement in the classroom. Thanks so much!
