A.
Where we are + Where we're headed
Lewis showed status on our 5-year strategic plan and shared the 25-26SY vision - accelerating scholar achievement by building capacity in our leaders and enhancing support for teacher development and data analysis.
We welcomed Dr. Alexandra Pardo to explain NWEA MAP, our school data comparable to others, and thoroughly answered questions from Board members.
We welcomed Rose Hoffman from our partnership with EmpowerK12, who walked us through the ASPIRE framework and subframeworks. This was one of three ASPIRE learning interactions. The next two will be at the campus level to support setting school goals for the 24-25SY and to understand our data dashboard for stronger real-time data analysis throughout the year.

Why It's Important
Board members were able to ask questions of both of our presenters to better understand the importance of our assessments and data analysis.
