High School Teachers Only - English General Paper Update
The English General Paper (EGP) workgroup of the Secondary Design Team has created the following documents to support schools as the district moves forward with EGP implementation in the junior year for 2020-2021. Documents to support schools are intended to be internal-facing, for teachers, administrators, and school counselors. Information about the teacher training in mid-April training is forthcoming. Questions for the workgroup can be directed to Rachel Hatten.

Assessment and Data Literacy
Have you ever wanted to compare your results on local assessments to the overall results of your school or the district? Have you ever wanted to view your results on local assessments by standards or some other item attribute? If so, then the Comparative Results report in myProgress is the report for you!
Many teachers say this resource is their favorite way to view their local assessment results by standard! Because of this, we want to make sure that all teachers are aware of this great resource!
The Comparative Results report combines student results across multiple assessments and compares these results by standards and item attributes, even down to an individual student level.
Visit the March edition of our Assessment and Data Literacy SharePoint page to learn more about the below questions with regard to the Comparative Results report.
· How well did my students perform on a specific standard?
· How well did my students perform on a specific item type? Item attribute?
· How well did a specific population of students perform on a standard/ item type?
· How well did my students perform compared to the cut levels set on the test?
· How well did my class perform compared with the school? With the district?
If you have questions about these topics or myProgress, please contact Amanda Phillips (x. 42340,aphillip@pasco.k12.fl.us).
