This next easy method for collecting data has the bonus of helping you take the first few steps analyzing it too. Color strips involve students in identifying which skills they need to focus on (and which skills might need retaught in a small group, one-on-one, etc.).
Color strips are used after giving a traditional assessment (or using the color strips for your formative assessments).  Here’s how they work- After grading an assessment, hand it back to students for review. Assign a color for correct answers and a different color for incorrect answers.  As you review each question, students will color each question number on the strip the correct color.
Here’s the beauty of the color strips- collect them and put them in order (or not-Â I used to assign each student a number and have them put it next to their name so that I could quickly and easily put papers in order). Â Then, tape each to a larger piece or paper or the inside of a file folder. Â Now you can look down each column and see which concepts the group has or has not mastered.
