Reminder from past newsletter
District Data Analysis of the 1st Quarter DA
I've attached copies of the District's Analysis of the 1st quarter DA by subjects. What's very helpful about this analysis? One is the district also list "notes" regarding lowest performing AKS with ideas for resources. Please take a look at this as a team.
I've also attached the QPTS hand-out that has a link to it. This is continuing our work on Assessment Feedback for students.
