Purpose: This protocol helps programs analyze the effectiveness of tutoring across a larger sample of students, identify needed curriculum adjustments, and support tutors through targeted data analysis. It can be used to review interim assessments (such as quizzes and tests) or a week’s worth of session data.
| Pre-Review |
- Suppose students complete assessments by hand, score, and input the data into a digital system.
- Suppose students complete assessments digitally (i.e., in a Virtual or Blended model). In that case, the data input will likely be automated, but the level of automation will vary depending on the software used.
|
| Step | Purpose | Questions |
| WHAT | Review desired outcomes using the assessment and/or overall mastery data. | - What purpose did this assessment serve?
- What were our goals for our students?
- What does the data tell us about overall student mastery?
- What does the data tell us about the overall effectiveness of our tutoring?
|
| SO WHAT | Reflect on what worked, what didn’t work, and why. | What does this tell us about our planning? What about our implementation? - To what degree did our instructional planning practices over the relevant time interval for this data (e.g., this past week) lead to these student outcomes?
- To what degree did implementing our plan over the relevant time interval for this data (e.g., this past week) lead to these student outcomes?
- Which topics need to be retaught to specific students or groups? Why?
|
| NOW WHAT | Reflect and adjust the curriculum plan if necessary. | - What adjustments should we make to our curriculum’s scope and sequence?
- Which students need individual differentiation and/or additional remediation or acceleration?
- What support do tutors need to be effective? Are there any gaps in tutor ability that we should address through supplemental training and support?
|
| Make a plan for communicating progress to students (and parents/teachers if needed) and adjust the curriculum plan. |
