Reframing Student Data for Growth

By Dr. Yuvraj Verma and Rachel Campbell

In the words of psychologist Carol Dweck, who has conducted extensive research on growth mindsets, “Becoming is better than being.” Building off this idea, as sixth grade math and English teachers we’ve learned to approach our mid-year benchmark assessments not as final judgments, but as tools for reflection and growth.

Many of our students entered the school year below grade level, and while achieving grade-level mastery is challenging, a growth mindset allows us to see their potential, celebrate progress, and plan for further successes. This perspective transforms data analysis into an empowering process; data becomes a tool for improvement amongst our students rather than a measure of failure.
