NWEA data

Discussed some needs that the committee wants to see with data: 

    * longitudinal data - look at learners that have been with us over multiple years and seeing their growth

    * need a "real time" dashboard for data that incorporates NWEA scores, social/emotional needs, attendance, etc.

    

Susan and Elizabeth shared out the slideshow that they prepared for the last board meeting and took any questions from the committee based on those slides. 

 

January is a heavy assessment month: 

    * Letter Sounds, Letter ID, Number ID, and 1 to 1 correspondence at CCA and learners are being grouped based on that data

    * F&P assessment taking place for the second time at Dimensions along with Winter NWEA assessment

    

Discussed our data from last Spring and then our data from this Fall

  - Focus on our special ed sub groups to make sure they are performing at the same rate of growth as their regular ed peers

  

Use data and trends to advertise to new and/or potential families to show that learners that are here over time make better progress than those just are just here for a year or 2.
