Feedback Mitch meets with me at key times in the process to drive my work with my staff and then is available in between times for my questions, concerns and frustrations. We think and plan together and then tailor the work to my circumstances specifically! - Penny Brockway, Principal, Quincy Middle School I believe I have gained in my data coaching and I am beginning to develop a good rapport with my teachers around data. We all are becoming more comfortable with data and the discussions around data. We are far from where we want to be, but we are gaining ground. - Lucas Trierweiler, Special Ed Director, Delton Kellogg Schools All of this is still a work in progress. However, the amount of time the teachers are taking to analyze their assessments and their willingness to want to find out how they can improve their students’ level of understanding (based on data collected through assessments) is refreshing. The teachers are buying into the positive impact useful assessments can have on student learning and how it can help them improve their own instructional practices. I am looking forward to seeing more results from more teachers and classrooms. -Rob Bobeda, Principal, Olivet High School
