WHY we use GAP ANALYSIS:
Teacher:
•
Helps determine if or how a student is responding to a particular intervention
•
Helps determine how intense an intervention should be
HOW TO CALCULATE THE GAP (REMEMBER that the Gap is ALWAYS calculated at CURRENT GRADE level)
Step 1
•
The Gap is determined by dividing the CURRENT benchmark by CURRENT performance
•
Then we determine if the Gap is significant (guideline: anything above 2.0 is significant in elementary school )
Step 2 (what kind of progress is needed to close the gap??)
•
This step is determined by subtracting the CURRENT performance from the END OF YEAR benchmark
•
Divide this number by the amount of weeks left in the year
•
Is this a reasonable goal for this student?
OR
•
Determine reasonable amount to be made up per week for this student
•
Figure out how many weeks it will take for the student to accomplish this goal
STEP 1: DETERMINE GAP
Assessment used:
CURRENT GAP:
_______________/____________ = _____________
is it Significant?
Y
N
Current
/current
= CURRENT GAP
(significant =more than 2)
Benchmark
performance
Step 2: GAP ANALYSIS
_______________/ ________________ = ___________*
______________ - ____________ = _____________
Needed to catch up / weeks left in year
how many/much per week
End of Year
/current
= Needed to catch up
Benchmark
performance
OR
_________________/ _______________________= ___________*
Needed to catch up / how many/much per week
number of weeks
to meet goal
*Team to determine: Is closing this gap REALISTIC FOR THIS STUDENT? Comments? Plan?:
