Beyond the Data Dump: Planning High-Impact Math State Test Prep from Student Data

This recorded webinar was led by Sarah Wood, NTN Math Technology Development Manager, and was designed for educators who want student data to truly inform instruction, not just live in spreadsheets.

If assessment results have ever felt more like a data dump than a meaningful planning tool, this session addressed exactly that challenge. Participants explored how to move from numbers to next steps by using student assessment data to identify gaps in understanding, prioritize standards of focus, and design instructional plans that build true standards mastery rather than surface-level test preparation.

This collaborative session focused on practical, actionable strategies educators could immediately implement with their teams.

In this session, participants:

• Learned how to analyze student assessment data to uncover misconceptions and gaps in understanding
• Identified priority standards that should drive instruction and intervention
• Explored instructional planning strategies that develop standards-based thinking instead of test prep shortcuts
• Received concrete steps and examples to apply right away
