We don't have the assessment index for LEAP Connect. With the calculator changes, we will need to focus heavily on this especially due to our high SPED population.
Dr. Holmes asked about the current staffing and curriculum for ELL.
Could we look at current staffing ratios for ELL to see if our current 45:1 is appropriate?
Can we show on the dashboard the breakdown of languages from the students in the building? And do we have the relevant dictionaries in the building?
On the interim data, we improved in English, but not math. I'm concerned with interim assessments, the number, etc. I'm wondering if we need to do iReady and LEAP 360 interim assessments. Clarification: iReady is an intervention, LEAP 360 is a benchmark. The conversation led to pacing clarifications for teachers.
