I’ve done a lot of required assessments in my day. And when I think back, I can confirm that I didn’t actually use the results from the assessments. I just got the assessment done and called it a day.

But, the purpose of assessing is to check progress and if there is a discrepancy, to use that data to create lessons and learning opportunities to help teach that missing skill.

Tune in to this episode to hear the why, how, and what behind data collection and the system I created!

Topics Discussed:

• Why assessment data should be analyzed
• The system I created and how to use it
• What can be learned from collecting assessment data

Resources Mentioned:

• Free Quick Data Collector
• Free Assessment Guide
