I had the classroom assessment report for the pretest and post test of the math unit I taught when Leslie and I met. At this time our conversation was pretty surface. Leslie teaches second grade and I work with fifth. The content was very different but we were both able to ask each other some clarifying questions based on the data. I think doing the pretest itself made me more conscious of what areas were of greater concern. Prior to this I hadn't used pretests very often and if I did, I had not put them into data director. Leslie and I both saw that this was a good way to look at the data, especially for me because I am so visual.
Time was definitley a roadblock since we do not have a common planning time. We have had some experience with data conversations because our our coaching with the ISD however I think more practice in this area will help us and our students grow.
