2.1.1 Data Driven Instruction, Analytics, and Reporting Tools

The information in this quest tells me that the teacher in the hypothetical course uses a variety of evaluation methods. There is documentation of performance-based assessment including the use of advertisement, newsletter, cover letter, and resume. In addition, the instructor provides a variety of feedback including individual feedback. The instructor also makes use of an automated calling system.

It is apparent from the information provided that some students are waiting until the last minute to complete assignments. Others are not logging in and viewing the material at all. The instructor could try to provide more encouragement to students and reminders of upcoming due dates. This could be done by addressing the entire class, but it may have a better outcome if the instructor contacted individual students and gave them specific information regarding their progress. In addition, I believe it is also important to contact students and parents with personalized phone calls instead of an automated system. If a student is failing a class or is in danger of failing a class, I believe it is important to give the parent and student specific feedback regarding the student's progress in class.
