ATLAS Video Series:
Using Data to Drive Instruction

This video series introduces the Arkansas Teaching, Learning, and Assessment System (ATLAS) for Grades 3–10. It’s designed to help educators, school leaders, and district teams use assessment data to improve instruction and student learning.

 

Key topics include:

  • Understanding ATLAS: Learn how classroom, interim, and summative assessments work together to show student progress aligned to Arkansas Academic Standards.

  • Assessment Tools: Explore Blueprints, Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs), and Achievement Level Descriptors (ALDs) to better understand student results.

  • Using the ATLAS Reporting System: Get step-by-step guidance on accessing role-specific reports, using Individual Student Reports (ISRs), and analyzing data in Google Sheets.

  • Data Reflection: Learn how to identify trends by standard or student group to adjust instruction, plan interventions, and guide professional learning.

  • Student and Family Engagement: Discover how ISRs can support student ownership of learning and meaningful conversations with families.

  • Leadership Use: Building and district leaders will see how to use summative data for systems checks, curriculum alignment, identifying students for MTSS, and leading data conversations.

 

The videos along with resources provide practical tools and strategies to help educators turn ATLAS data into meaningful actions for student success.
