Compose 3 paragraphs (minimum 150-word for each) analyzing the data from the TAPR and benchmark results.  First paragraph: Identify the most significant academic performance gaps based on the data.  • Compare the sub-populations’ state assessment performance in each grade and content area to identify gaps.  • Compare student benchmarking performance to the student state assessment performance in each grade and content per sub-population to identify correlations or discrepancies. • Cite evidence from the data to support your statements.  Second paragraph: Cross-reference and synthesize the data from benchmark and state assessments. • Identify the THREE most significant gaps in student sub-populations’ academic performance based on both academic data sets.  • Cite evidence from the data to justify how you identified the significant gaps.  Final paragraph: Create an initial plan for finding the root cause of the academic performance gaps. Consider the following:  Note: Use the Root Cause Analysis Model and PowerPoint in the course Resources to assist you.  Why does one/some group(s) perform better than others?  Where/how can this question be answered?   Who may be able to provide this information?   What data validates the information provided?   Cite data analysis from the TAPR and benchmark results that support your rationale.
