4/6 IIRC Data

I am so confused as to if I need another blog or not, I'm just going to do it.  (Dr. Closen, if you are reading this, know that I am saying to myself, "That's what you get for getting behind, Kristin!".  I'm pretty sure that the email you sent to us, towards the beginning of class, about keep blogging even if you are in sunny Florida, was indeed directed towards me. Uh-oh.  Anyway.....The IIRC data was confusing at times but I started to enjoy looking for trends, either up and down and trying to figure out what occurred during that time.  I still don't think I have the knowledge to always predict the cause but I was proud of myself for putting the data together and knowing that something did happen to cause the difference.  Like Anna, I am going to enjoy looking into other districts and checking their data.  I especially find it interesting when you come across a school with similar demographics, but different scores.  That would really keep me guessing!

I AGREE. WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED AT THOSE I WAS JUST AS CONFUSED, BUT DOING IT EVERY TIME WE MEET, I STARTED TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE.
