Purpose
Professional Development - September 16, 2021
The purpose of this course will be to provide administrators with an in-depth overview of the indicators utilized in the Illinois response to Every Student Success Act (ESSA) accountability system. Included in this workshop will be an overview of the ESSA law, the indicators utilized to designate schools, the requirements of schools designated for targeted and comprehensive support, funding support provided through the Title I - School Improvement 1003(a) Grant, and the requirements of the grant process including the use of the ISBE IWAS portal. In addition, participants will be exposed to the reports utilized for the annual designations available in IWAS.
Participants will also discuss school improvement alignment to ensure positive student achievement. Although time will be devoted to those designated for improvement, this academy will be important for every school due to the annual calculation of the summative index score. Time will also be provided for participants to share experiences, barriers to student achievement, successful innovative ideas on student achievement, and communication opportunities for participants to guide stakeholder knowledge in their community
Fall Benchmark Assessments - Not just another test
With this definition of benchmark assessment, it is easier to see the potential value, especially at the start of the school year. Teachers already know the curriculum that is expected to help students master concepts and promote student growth; benchmarking can help teachers plan lessons strategically from the start, and tackle the curriculum in the most efficient way to make sure that all students are on pace. Take it a step further by administering additional benchmark assessments at one or two more intervals throughout the school year. When benchmarking is paired with data from more informal day-to-day formative assessments, teachers can feel confident about identifying students’ needs and adjusting their instructional approach as necessary to meet them.
