Useful DMAC Reports

Once we get our first round of data into DMAC, we will take time to access each report and process the information that it is showing.
YAG & IFD
TExGUIDE
TExGuide provides teachers with a bridge between curriculum, aligned resources, and instructional planning. TExGuides increase the efficiency and quality of lesson planning for teachers, which directly impact student learning outcomes. TExGuides are aligned with TEKS Resource System curriculum, including the scope and sequence of instructional units. Each HyperDoc includes:
- unit overview and key understandings
- unit vocabulary with corresponding activities
- student expectations with aligned engagement activities, sample learning
- experiences and formative assessments
- sample unit assessment
- unit resources

Be able to answer these questions or ask for help. These ideas are essential to becoming intentional in all we do in teaching our students to the best of our ability!
Take time during your work days to answer and work through these questions. By putting in the time and work to make things better for our students, we will be able to move from average to awesome!
How do you need to adjust your YAG based on tested items on STAAR?
Have you unpacked your TEKS?
Have you taken and dissected the STAAR tests for your grade level, including grades above and below?
For Pre-K through 2nd, have you taken the 3rd grade STAAR and looked to see how your TEKS align to the test?
How will you plan your instruction based on data?
T-TESS
Professional Goals
The Goal-Setting and Professional Development (GSPD) process is an ongoing, recursive process where teachers reflect on current professional practices, identify professional growth goals, establish a professional development plan to attain those goals, track progress towards goals over the course of the year, and reflect on goal attainment, including how the goals and professional development actually refined practices. The teacher self-assessment, goal setting and professional development are all interwoven and applied throughout the year to positively impact each teacher’s professional practices and ultimately increase student performance.
Set a new professional goal in DMAC. Make sure your goal is measurable and relevant.
