I collect student data by using checklists. They can be used for any subject. I choose a standard and create I can statements about what I want to see for my students to be successful. I have my students names listed and I walk around marking if they have mastered the I can statements. If I notice that a group of students are struggling in a certain area, I pull them to reteach. I have sometimes noticed that the entire class may need to be retaught a certain lesson and I may take an extra day to reteach to ensure that my students understand before I move to the next lesson. I am attaching a copy of what a checklist may look like.

Checklists and spreadsheets are good tools.

A simple one that I will do is to photocopy student work that is challenging on a colored sheet of paper. Then, I put this work in the student's folder for MTSS times. If a student has a colored sheet, it means that this work must be done first. They will bring the paper to my table, and I will work with student to remediate or reteach.

I also have a check list and collect work of struggling students. I love the idea of using colored paper to bring to MTSS. After all diagnostics, I also print of class data to see where students are compared to their peers so I can determine grouping and changes in instruction.
