EDUC 6305 Advanced Educ.Tech. Excel 1 Activity # 23


The  NCES site, National Center for Education Statistics, is a site dedicated to collecting and analyzing educational data. The statistics used from this site for National comparison were Math, 8th Grade and Gender. In comparison to other states, WV scores higher than Alabama, Mississippi, California, and Louisiana. The District of Columbia has the lowest score, and 45 states score higher than WV with Massachusetts scoring the highest. After completing the descriptive statistics, I've concluded WV's Scale Score of 273 is below the Mean Score of 283.
As Educators, analyzing and compiling data is relevant and directly correlated to designing curriculum. The Scatter Plot and Trend line enhances the data and provides an overall view of results.


NETS-T:  Teachers using Excel and the Data Analysis tool are modeling the use of digital tools to locate, analyze, represent in chart/graph form and make informed decisions based on data. The Education system is data driven and educators must be knowledgeable in interpreting data. Following interpretation is being able to communicate the findings.
