Data drives instruction. After reviewing the data from eduphoria! and other sources of information (e.g. common formative assessments, major tests, quizzes, group discussions), we can find specific TEKS for the students to improve on and pinpoint the students who are at risk of failing. This online course will focus on three tools to help these students show growth on any TEKS.
