Administrative Message
As we push forward and set new goals based on data please keep a few things in mind: How do students know what teks they have mastered and what teks they still need help in?
How are our students grouped (small groups)?
This week during PLCs please bring your lesson plans and student data trackers. We will be taking a look at how our scholars are tracking their own data. This week we will also be taking a look at the complexity in which the lessons are being delivered. Beginning With the End in Mind, are our scholars being exposed to the various ways they will be assessed by STAAR?
