ANALYSIS OF INTERVIEW(S)

**Please use the example of an Analysis of Observation provided as a template for all analysis papers.**

Step 1: Summarize the interview(s).

1A. Background Details:

Develop a chart that identifies:

a. Site Visit Number(s)

b. Day(s) of the week

c. Date(s)

d. Grade level(s)

e. Subject(s)

1B. Summary of Interview(s)

Using your Site Visit Notes as well as the notes taken during the interview(s), provide 3-4 sentences

summarizing each interview. Be sure to identify, specifically, who was interviewed and focus on the specific

Performance Activity that supports the given IPTS.

Remember that a summary focuses on retelling the main events of the interview in your own words. No opinion

or analysis should be part of your summary.

Step 2: Analyze the interview(s) and connection to the standard. In this analysis, closely examine the interview

questions and the responses received. Focus on the connection between the interview discussion(s) and the explicit

IPT standard/indicator this interview(s) is addressing. Be sure to support the claims with specific examples from the

interview(s).

Step 3: Analyze impact on student learning. Using anecdotal data from the interview(s), analyze the way in which

what you learned through the interview(s) impacts student learning. Consider the way specific characteristics of

students in the target grade level and subject area (e.g., developmental characteristics, previously demonstrated

academic performance/ability and special needs, socio-economic profile, ethnicity/cultural/gender make-up, special

needs and language) impact decisions regarding instruction and assessments made by the teacher, especially in terms

of the explicit IPT standard/indicator on which the interview(s) focused. Provide quotes whenever possible. Be sure

to support claims with specific examples from the interview(s).
