Celebrating Student Growth: Chapin Street School in Ludlow, MA, developed a data wall to display every student’s current data in ELA and MATH. They move students’ pictures as they show growth throughout the year. The magnetic data board was constucted from galvanized sheet metal glued to plywood, framed and mounted to the wall in their professional development room. They post student performance levels using student I.D.s backed with magnetic tape. Because the room is used for parent meetings, shades mounted above the board roll down to cover the confidential information displayed. Total cost - under $150.
