We saw great success with our ACT Student Experience pilot program. We saw student scores increase over just a few months as well as an increase in the number of students benchmarking in Science.

We have spent the last year developing Performance Level Descriptors for our new standards and the new assessment.

Expanded the review committee to be a cross-department effort (Education, Environment, Human Health) and created a new review tool that the members found easy to use.

Four months into the Exploration Stage of the revised 2024 NE science standards.

Celebrating 5 years of my virtual PLC "Under the Microscope" which is a safe space of MS science teachers to talk about science instruction freely. We listen and we do not judge. LOL

We are currently supporting an inaugural group of STEAM Fellows to develop capacity in state. That's been fun! :)

Developing more formative-use assessment items to assist teachers with classroom instruction.
