2. Some Components of the NC Plan:
Review data
Develop a monitoring tool
Develop plan for PD

3. Review of data: Proficiency: Reading and Math below 5%
Accommodations: small group, extended time, read aloud & separate setting
Demographics: still working on pulling and summarizing this data

4. Development of tool and PD:
Monthly meetings: Accountability & EC
Collaborative monitoring: led by Accountability with EC
Collaboration on development of tool and PD (awaiting state assessment decisions)

5. New State Initiatives:
Governor's Teacher Network (GTN)
PowerSchool-statewide
UDL lesson plans & Formative Assessment-PowerSchool & GTN
Standards Based Report Cards for all students

6. Standards portion of a report card.
Shaded lines are subject area grades.
Comments can be associated with either standards or subject area grades.
Math standards can be associated with both math and science course.

7. Challenges: Several new state initiatives rolling out at the same time
Tapping in on components of these initiatives, rather than recreating
Sample size of our field testing was too small to use for decision making
CCSS under review
Assessment determinations not finalized

8. Next steps are to continue:
Collection of data to inform data based decisions
Work towards development of a standard protocol for monitoring the assessment administration and decision making
Work towards developing professional development to support teachers as state decisions are finalized

9. Thank you!
