As we prepare for a change in assessment, we can build on what we’ve learned from prior state assessments to make informed, strategic decisions. During this data day, we will guide you in interpreting both state and local data to support instructional planning in your specific content area. Participants will register for one content/focus area of their choice and stay in that session the entire session. Each content team will examine how to collect and analyze data, identify high-impact priorities, and use lead4ward resources to develop a targeted plan for growth.
