We envision teachers who feel trusted enough to be vulnerable with students and families.  Teachers invite students and families  into conversation about the data and then into partnership where they learn from one another about the best way to support each young person. Schools examine their data in partnership with other schools, with the same critical eye towards disparities and the same partnership around solutions. Districts partner with other districts, and invite families and communities into creative problem solving about how to better serve students’ needs. The state and federal systems support these local efforts and lead the commonwealth’s equity focused agenda by facilitating the spread of good ideas, good work and productive partnerships.  ]]> 2021-08-16 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1681048977 WHAT DO WE NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE? sarah1963 https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1681048978 2021-08-16 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1681048978 What are the specific elements of the current policy system that breed competition over collaboration between schools and between districts? sarah1963 https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1681048979 2021-08-16 21:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1681048979 How does the focus on a certain testing method prevent schools that are doing the right work from shining? Are traditional testing methods hurting the state's kids? https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1698349963 2021-08-26 12:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1698349963 What other systems of accountability should be used? https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1702154375 2021-08-28 20:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1702154375 How can data collections give a full picture of students and their abilities? https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1702154683 2021-08-28 20:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah1963/e4r8cgm6x9lajdhs/wish/1702154683
