1. Use of Data to Improve Instruction
Haverford’s Standards-Based Curriculum
Assessments in core content areas illustrate our students knowledge of the skills reflected by the Standards.
OSCAR is our system for quickly analyzing results on teacher-created curriculum-based assessments.
The results give us insights that enable us to quickly adjust instruction in areas of difficulty.

2. Use of Data to Improve Instruction
Over the past two years, teams of teachers created common mid-terms, unit tests, and finals in the middle and high school, in all core content areas – English, Math, Social Studies and Science, 6-12.
This past year, common, PA Standards-Based reading selection tests have been introduced in all schools, grades 2-5
