We, as all districts are worrying about next year’s budget influencing staffing, and ultimately the effect it will have on students. As always, we will meet our students needs with the talents of…Read More

Yes. This is definitely a resounding concern in our building as well.

I think is a concern for all of us; always having to do more with less. We do look at the particular strengths of staff members and attempt to place them appropriately. We are also hoping by consolidating our middle and high school into one building that will allow us to provide more opportunities for all our students.

I agree completely! We are struggling now to operate with limited funding and a shrinking student population. We had to consolidate our elementary schools two years ago and the middle and high school last year. Many of our teachers are worried what the future holds. These new requirements will make it nearly impossible for our district to stay afloat.

Jason I think this is a concer we are all going to be feeling. Our schools concern is also providing students a rich curriculum as well as opportunities to provide the enrichment and interventions that are needed. This task continues to get harder as our number of staff keeps dwindling.

I hope that I interpreted this webpage correctly. It contained a whole wealth of information.
While reviewing KY’s Uniform Academic Course Codes webpage, I only focused on those at the Elementary Level because I teach at an Elementary School. My first reaction was WOW! This would be ideal for students to have the opportunity to all of these c…Read More1 Comment-
You have hit upon what seems to be the greatest concern with Opportunity and Access, which is resources and the variation between schools. The rich curriculum piece is asking for what is circled in the attached graphic at elementary and the course codes are to come from the listing. -

After hearing Dr.Gusky speak last summer about Mastery Learning, it really opened my eyes to formative assessments. I have always used formative assessments but never as a tool to achieve Mastery Learning. This year at Flat Gap Elementary each teachers designed daily learning targets that are aligned with the standards. Then a formative assessment…Read More

Educational Reform has made major impacts within education within the past 20 years.
But not until recently has the impacts driven the way we evaluate student achievement and success. There have been several major players who have helped this movement, such as KDE, Gates Foundation, and ARI. Teachers no longer are waiting on state test…Read More5 Comments-
Welcome Jeff! Loved the video and the vision of performance/authentic assessment it offers. Not only an excellent job by the student, but a wonderful example of relevant assessment. Others may want to visit https://www.performanceassessmentresourcebank.org/ where Stanford University has undertaken the building of a performance assessment resource bank.

Thank you for your post Tony. Student ownership is certainly what we all are after. Do you have any more details for how you encourage or prompt student analysis of their work?

Students use a data notebook to analyze assessments and performance. We update them every few weeks to keep it fresh in their minds.

Fantastic! Tried and true. John Hattie identified “Self Reported Grades” as 2nd among 252 other factors to increase student achievement( https://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-influences-effect-sizes-learning-achievement/)

I am new to student data notebooks this year so I know that I have a lot of room to grow. Tony, what all is included in your data notebooks? Also what grades are they used with? We currently use them with 4th-6th grades, but would love for this to expand all the way down to K. I would appreciate any insights on data notebooks that you or anyone…Read More

I use assessment data from various sources. We use STAR Reading data, Reading Plus data, MAP data, CERT data. We also use a student data notebook to allow students to do self-reflection and set goals. You can set this up using classroom assessments as well, but it has to be consistently used throughout the year to be effective.
