First, I went to the website for the testing scores. I had to view three different year's scores in order to make a comparison, 2005, 2007 and 2009 since the scores were listed by testing years.
Next, I created a document comparing the 4th grade reading scores for West Virginia students to the national average with a bar graph to illustrate the summary comparison included in my document.
Finally, the 8th grade reading scores for West Virginia students were compared to the national average with two pie charts to illustrate the summary comparison included in my second document.
All of the graphs were created using Kids Zone graphing tools.
The ISTE standards modeled in this activity would be V-A&B since this activity is more for the professional development of the teacher and could be used to reflect on professional practices. Although the national testing and evaluation practices may not be under our control the results could be used as a small part of the much bigger picture in regards to our evaluation of professional practices.
