We are not doing state assessment so collecting data should be a little easier.
Questions:
1. How do we make sure our data set is complete? No gaps.
2. How to distribute workload?
3. Can we put in systems if this is an annual evaluation?
PLC time was helpful to maintain
4. What does on demand actually look like?
5. How can the earlier writing help later work?
Goal: What is our consistency goals? Calibration goals?
Classroom Culture; Metrics include hallway, expectations in classroom
Gap Closing Goal: Focuses on students of color (70% + is Caucasian)
Which group should we focus on?
