Assignment #3

In order to prepare for our session on October 28 with Dr. Lane Mills about using test data and pivot tables, you need to visit the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's website: http://www.ncpublicschools.org
and do the following:
Using the Toolbar:
Select: "Statistics/Data"
Select: "Reports of Supplemental Disaggregated State, School System and School Performance Data"
Select: "2008-09" (this will give you both 2007-8 and 2008-09 data)
Select: "LEA" (choose any school district of your choice by scrolling)
Select: "School" (choose a school of your choice that contains grade 3)
Select: "Reading"
Select: "3"
Select: "Type of Assessment and then choose "All"

A report will appear with the data you have chosen. Save the report to your Desktop and examine the data. Feel free to examine other schools and data for other subjects. This practice will enable you to better understand Dr. Mills presentation on the 28th. Email me if you have any questions.
