How to use baseline data to find where am I now?

I hope my friends have gone through the tables I have posted in my timeline few days back relating to learning achievements of the children attending government schools of our State. The tables indicate the class-wise and subject-wise average percentage of children scoring Grade “A” and Grade “E” in SA1 of 2014-15 academic session. The tables also indicate the average percentage of children who scored Grade “A” and Grade “E” in overall elementary level. The rating scale on which the data presented is same as given in the CCA guidelines supplied to the schools. 

Now a question arises here that how many of you have compared your own score with provided “STATE AVERAGE” to know your present status?
*********
A subject teacher, a school head, a cluster resource coordinator, a block resource coordinator or block level educational administrator and a district head everyone can use this data in finding their status on academic achievements of their respective jurisdictions.

If you are a subject teacher and you teach EVS in 3rd grade, then open your learner’s assessment register or cross list register or result register whatever you call, count the number of students who have scored Grade “A” in EVS in SA1 in 2014 session. Suppose the number of children came out as 10 and the total number of children assessed in the subject is 40, then find out the percentage, that would be 25%. Now compare your score with STATE AVERAGE given in the table which is only 10.77%. This shows that you are far ahead and doing the best. And if unfortunately, your score becomes less than STATE AVERAGE i.e. less than 10.77%, you need to work hard without being discouraged.

In the same way, you can see your status at lower level achievement also by calculating your score in Grade “E”, however the comparison would be reverse in this case i.e. if your score is less than STATE AVERAGE, then you are doing great.

In the same way, a school head who wish to locate the status of her school in the state scenario can calculate class-wise and subject-wise achievement levels. This will help her to analyse the school’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). The same process can be followed at cluster, block and district level also.

Sometimes a school head may wish to felicitate academically best teacher of her school or a cluster resource coordinator/block level educational administrator may like to recognize an academically best school under her jurisdiction, this process will give an evident ground.

Thank you!
