#144What do you do with the information that you learn from the assessments that you give students? Even if we are talking about end–of-unit summative assessments we should look at the overall results and see if there are any changes we should make to instruction.  This is our own consistent way of doing action research in our classrooms.  In this episode, Wyatt Crane, a Spanish teacher in New York City, joins me to talk us through how he uses data from assessments (both formative and summative) to determine what is effective and what he may need to modify in his classroom teaching.Topics In This Episode:how Wyatt collects and analyzes student performance data in his language classroomthe tools and methods Wyatt finds most effective for this processhow student performance data influences Wyatt's instructional decisions and lesson planningexamples of when data prompted Wyatt to adjust his teachinghow to ensure that student performance data is used not just for assessment purposes, but also for fostering student growth and learninghow to tailor approaches to data analysis and interpretation to meet the individual needs of studentsConnect with Wyatt Crane:Twitter/X : @ElSenorCrane  Connect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom Community: wlclassrom.comX (aka Twitter):  @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group__________________________Interested in having Joshua work directly with your department, school or district?  Look at options for collaborating in person or remotely.______________________________Sign up for Talking Points to get  tips, tools and resources for your language teaching.______________________________Join Joshua as a guest on the podcast.______________________________Join Joshua for a Leveling Up Coaching Episode  on the podcast.
