Key Similarities
Efficiency of Data Collection
Clarity and Usability
Data Quality & Consistency
Scalability & Reporting
Instructional & Equity Alignment
Scalability & Reporting
NEW TOOL:- Automatically aggregates responses
- Easily sortable by: School, Standard, GLO level, or Game category
- Supports real-time dashboards and longitudinal analysis
SPREADSHEET:- Aggregation requires manual compilation
- Challenging to analyze trends across schools, standards, or time
Designed for system-level & department based monitoring, not just record-keeping.
Efficiency of Data Collection
NEW TOOL:- Uses conditional logic (skip patterns by standard)
- Educators only see what’s relevant to their instructional focus
- Reduces completion time while increasing accuracy
SPREADSHEET:- Requires manual navigation across rows, columns, and tabs
- High cognitive load for educators
- Time-consuming to complete accurately
Less time logging, more time teaching.
Clarity and Usability
NEW TOOL:- Clean, sectioned flow by Standard →Level → GLO
- ✨ Essential GLOs are clearly flagged, supporting instructional prioritization
- Prompts support reflective practice without added explanation
SPREADSHEET:- All GLOs visible at once, which can feel overwhelming
- Easy to miss required or priority indicators
Cognitive load is reduced and instructional intent is clearer.
Key Similarities
Both tools:- Align to MCPS Physical Education Standards (1–5)
- Capture whether GLOs are taught, taught and assessed, or not yet addressed
- Allow educators to document game category focus and learning vehicles
- Serve as instructional monitoring tools, not evaluative instruments.
This continuity ensures the new tool builds on, rather than replaces, existing instructional intent.
Data Quality & Consistency
NEW TOOL:- Standardized response options (radio buttons, checkboxes)
- Required questions ensure completeness
- Produces clean, analyzable datasets automatically
SPREADSHEET:- Open-text entry and manual selections lead to inconsistent data
- Difficult to ensure uniform interpretation across schools
Higher reliability for district-level & department based analysis and decision-making.
Instructional & Equity Alignment
NEW TOOL:- Explicitly identifies essential GLOs (✨) to support equitable access
- Encourages intentional alignment between:
Standards , Learning vehicles, Instructional design- Supports consistent implementation across diverse school contexts
SPREADSHEET:- Tracks coverage, but lacks focus guidance
Moves from “Did we cover it?” to “Did all students access what matters most?”
