AI-Driven LT Tracker (5-SC): Data-Driven Instructional Planning

Abstract

This seminar introduces the LT Tracker (5-SC), a mobile-friendly Google Sheet template designed for educators to efficiently monitor student progress against specific learning targets. Participants will learn how to use the tracker for daily data entry and how to interpret its automated dashboard—featuring three key charts—to make informed, data-driven pedagogical decisions. The session culminates in demonstrating how to leverage AI-driven analysis of this data to effectively plan targeted instruction and form dynamic, purposeful cooperative learning groups based on Kagan structures.
