Using the data……

Use of Data continued…. -NeSA – Moving the bar. Work to be done. -Attendance – Steve Snodgrass -SIMS – Parent communication -MAP – Continue to educate myself and staff on how to use MAP data to guide instruction. Very powerful, PD still needed.

Achievement and Data Data is only as good as the interpretation and usage to guide instruction and fill learning gaps. PD is needed for staff to fully understand how to use the multitude of functions of MAP. Fear of overwhelming staff.

Use of Data continued…. We’ve looked at the data, now what? -Instructional Coach -I & E time separate from Reading Blocks -PLCs we look at data and utilize teacher input regarding student needs. -Instructional Framework -Focus on Domain 3c (Engaging Students in Learning) -Anita Archer PD Project for Explicit Instruction Book Study (DVD Series)
