The work of your collaborative teams dedicated to the 4 PLC questions, not building PD topics
The PD being led in your building to support teachers' understanding of question 1
The meetings related to reading, math, team or department meetings that support the focus of question 1

November 3, 2011
ONLINE TEST SPECIFICS
Web-based, live test deliveryGrowth model – up to three administrationsCurricular support information will be available later via “Learning Point Navigator”Scores will be available ‘immediately’Theory is get student results, staff can use data as “formative” information for teaching

POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS
Overall Implications: Late notifications from MDE Testing students before all content delivered Maximizing instructional time Students singled out when tested 2x, 3x Lab time Managing classrooms with some kids retesting,
others not Parents – expecting current schedule? Parents – hearing new test information? Year to year comparisons Growth calculations currently aggregated
WHAT WE NEEDGuidance to forming a 191 approach to changesLooking to groups for feedback:
Principals and district administrators Technology MDE Other districts
Act in a role of ‘consultation’Time is of the essence
