What do students know?
Using data: EQAO, Report Card Data, Compass, Classroom Evidence currently informing progress reports consider the following questions:
1. In which strands do students demonstrate strength? Need for more support?
2. What are the specific skill strengths of our students in these strands?
3. What are the skill needs of our students in these strands?
4. Does this align with our original thinking from September PA Day? Are there new wonderings?
5. How do these needs link to the Math Processes and Achievement Chart? (Content Area educators reflect on their Achievement Chart links)
