Clarification on Data Analysis

I am really struggling with organizing this data in a way that ensures I'm gathering the most accurate data to prove (or disprove) my research question.  At the same time, I am finding it difficult to post photos, documents, etc. using this particular blog and that's adding even more to my stress levels (on top of all of the snow-days).

I apologize for the graininess of this photo, but I had to snap a picture of my computer.  You can see that the majority of my students' lower areas are sentence fluency and word choice.  Voice is also the next lowest scoring Trait.  However, Traits such as organization, conventions, and even ideas are quite the high (or average) scorers.  So I am focusing on what each particular student needs. I do want to point out that six of these students are labeled as Gifted and Talented.  These students were also placed into our higher group based upon their MAP Reading and Math scores and KPREP Scores.  For reading and math, we also utilize common assessment data.  Moreover, before moving any child, my team and I discuss their classroom performance in ALL of our areas. 

As you can see, conventions is only an issue for a few of my higher birds.

Organization is quite average, but there are a few students that require instruction upon that and those lessons will be provided after their most needed areas are instructed.

You can see that Sentence Fluency is a struggle for many of my students.  As a whole school, our vocabulary awareness is low, so I was prepared to see this type of result.

 Concurrently, many of my students in this class have a good sense of voice.  However, you can still see a few students in need of improvement.

Word Choice was my other "focus" Trait for this time due it being quite a need!














Ideas is quite the high-scoring Trait for the majority of my students as well. 






I want to clarify that all of my students are not included within this study, but they will all be receiving instruction in their area of need.
