Agenda

 

 

Dashboard

 

purpose: initially AC BoT facing, monitoring 

 

trending over time

 

specific items from the caregiver survey

 

What are we measuring and how?

 

What are the top ones to focus on?

 

"one stop shopping for entire BoT"

 

on micro level - is teacher retention a good metric? misses a lot of the why (e.g. pregnancy, family relocation, etc.). Is there a better measure for this? 

 

-for proposal of "% moving on to HS", not clear on intent. AC believes this is not really appropriate. 

 

 

Montessori trained vs. certified. Some of our faculty have trained, but not certified. 

 

Special education metric discussion. 

Action item: Jane and Karen to follow up offline on this item and bring back to AC to see what makes sense to place on the dashboard. 

-this might warrant its own survey just to special education receiving families, not the more general caregiver survey

 

Jane to follow up also on Dibels and Acadience metrics for dashboard

 

updated dashboard with comments inserted:
