Making a Difference • Four areas in which we would expect to see improvement • Academic growth • Behavior • Student engagement • Culture/climate
Academic Growth • Data Notebooks – One of the most effective Formative Instructional Practices is students taking ownership for their learning. In Data Notebooks, students track/graph their learning and set goals and can articulate their own strengths and areas for growth. • Prior to renewal - 0% of students tracked their learning in Data Notebooks • Now – 100% of our students track their learning and growth through Data Notebooks
