I was able to attend the Assessment and Accountability conference in Louisville and a there were a lot of questions about growth and how it will be calculated.

What I have heard from the meeting is that Growth will be included still, but tweaks to how it is calculated may happen.

Having a time set aside each day to provide interventions for students is so important. We have a time like you have mentioned above designated each day so that we can meet with students in the areas of reading and math and help address misconceptions and fill gaps!

With all the cuts in funding facing education, onebof our schools biggest concerns is ensuring that all students have access to a rich curriculum as well as opportunities to provide intervention and enr…Read More

So sorry for delay in response. Due to funding, the sophomore ACT will not be given this year. Only Juniors will take the ACT, which will count for accountability with Transition Readiness, Math and Reading. The 10th grade field test in Math and Reading will be given this year going operational next school year, which will be used for…Read More
