Defining the work is important.
We want to put this in place so that it is easily implemented, integrated, seamless with what they already do. Not another thing they have to worry about.
Teacher leadership. We want to share across the districts what they already do - leverage the good work and how it fits with formative assessment.
We want teachers to learn what to do with the data - focus the PD on the components of formative assessments - the next steps - student growth and teacher growth in instruction.
PreK-K alignment and child development is important to us. Our partnerships help facilitate this - adding additional PreKs. Catawba Valley Foundation as a partner. We will utilize our teams and partners. What is our data telling us about what kids know when they enter kindergarten? How can we prepare our schools for kids and better serve our PreK population?
