What data do we have about children across multiple school years that is easily accessible? What data do we have about teachers across multiple school years that is easily accessible?

# data[].attributes.body
Do we have a short list of indicators that positively affect student and teacher retention?  If so, we should be tracking how well we meet those indicators.

# data[].attributes.body
maybe more importantly than some of this - do you have the RIGHT GOALS - espe. for achievement - for students? (e.g. NWEA, attrition), perspectives on backfilling, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
- Are there network-wide goals associated w/ the def. of ed excellence?
- are you hoping the dashboards reflect the entirety of whether the vision for ed.ex. is being lived fully?

# data[].attributes.body
does this belong in vertical?

# data[].attributes.body
Growth 2-3x/year (e.g. NWEA)
State Tests: 1x/year
Curricular/Standards Mastery: depends on audience - insist schools do these practices daily/weekly - the network maybe monthly?

would pick a couple additional specific metrics that matter - e.g. % kids reading on grade level, % kids taking algebra by 8th grade, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
thinking this might be split b/w programs/practices you want to "track" vs. impt. dashboard metrics to look at regularly.

Metrics:
- Student Demographics (annually)
- Enrollment (including attrition/retention data - monthly)
- Achievement:
can get blown out into a whole dashboard on it's own....will write another box)
- HS Matriculation (depending on how network monitors/facilitates this....monthly updates on # meetings held, HS apps, acceptances, decisions, etc.
Staff:  # filled positions (monthly?), demographics (annually), "benchdepth" - availability of successors for leadership roles, # participating in PD? tenure
Safety:  in light of recent events - feels like there might be some metrics here we want to think about?
Attendance Rates
- Survey scores? (could get at things like D&II, engagement, satisfaction, mindset, etc.

Tracking (would be less frequent - once a year? - good for correlating, knowing which models/sites are doing what, e.g.
- what curricula?
- what assessments?
- after school activities?
- tutoring/mentoring programs?
- use of teaching fellows?
- D&I/engagement initiatives?
- Schools have tested safety procedures?

College, previous school, etc .

# data[].attributes.body
How long has each teacher been teaching & the kids in front of them (i.e. are some kids with more novice teachers than other kids)

# data[].attributes.body
I think this certainly would encompass the various metrics used in evaluations, but it could also go beyond that. Perhaps additional, unofficial SGMs (e.g. where NWEA is used for a SLO, there are still unit assessments, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need to get a view of what "tools" or curriculum students are using in each school and the frequency of use.  (example: iready, compass,  study island, moby max, MONDO).

Then see if the frequency of any tool positively or negatively affects learning

# data[].attributes.body
What should we be measuring? (reading rate, fact fluency, attendance, tardies, etc)
When should we be measuring it? (weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, etc)
Who should we measuring? (e.g., all students, K-3, 'at-risk' students, etc)

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need to monitor reading rate, accuracy and expression/prosody at regular intervals.

Educational Excellence is identifying and meeting the needs of all students to develop lifelong learners who are college and career ready. This is achieved  through five distinct but interrelated commitments to:

1. Rigorous curricula, pedagogies and assessments;

2. Holistic, whole child approaches to education that support social, emotional well being;

3. Diversity, cultural awareness and civic-mindedness;

4. Family and community engagement;

5. Positive school and staff cultures of learning and growth-mindset;

6. Evidence-based decision making.
