Group Data Analysis:

2. Use LCAP’s “Group Data Analysis” worksheet
3. Have teachers grouped by grade and subject
4. Use the District Item Analysis sheet to determine the 5 most successful questions and 5 least successful questions. Fill out the rest of the worksheet individually or in group
5. Look at trends (such as M/C questions are higher than S/A or E/A)
6. Determine why the scores were good
7. Determine why the scores were bad
• Q. appeared wrong: typed wrong or needs adjustment
• Q. is bad: ambiguous, doesn’t hit GLI, not at grade level
• The lesson plan for that GLI were faulty: didn’t have time to teach the GLI at all, bad lesson, needs additional class time, class was interrupted

8. Go over test to possibly revise
