Branching Minds / Data Review
Janice, Amy, and I have been meeting individually with teachers on request. This seems to be a good way to help resolve issues, answer questions, and provide "intervention" in helping teachers understand BrM and their testing data. Please continue to encourage teachers to meet with us. We've been helping with planning and prepping as well as talking instruction, groupings, resources. We've also followed up with principals about these meetings, so you know who has requested help as well.
Teachers Coding -- Thanks to Amy and Janice for Hour of Code!

Data
State Test Item Analysis
What it shows: Standards performance for every grade on last year's test.
How to use it: Teachers can look at current students' performance for overall strengths and weaknesses or look at last year's performance
Other Analysis: I am highlighting standards where > 50% scored poorly and providing links to resources as appropriate (ex. HS writing rubrics)
Value-Added Reports
What it shows: Building level performance and student projections (Teacher designations not yet available)
How to use it: Work with Janice to understand student projections and how to incorporate into instruction.
