This chapter will introduce you to skills and strategies used to examine classroom assessment data to improve science instruction. Although the authors advocate using multiple forms of student work to inform instruction, they will focus on using student responses to a statewide science assessment. Standardized tests, however, should by no means replace teacher-developed classroom assessments, particularly informal methods such as teacher observations and direct questioning. In general, the methods and techniques suggested in this chapter can be used to analyze any sample of scored student work.
