Today's Outcomes • Understand how I-CAT system will manage data to support the alignment process • Deepen understanding of alignment process
Success Criteria • At the end of today’s session, my team will be able to… • prepare the I-CAT for use in our district (administrative level). • train and support our teachers in using the I-CAT (teacher level). • generate reports from the I-CAT. • make informed decisions about our district’s use of alignment tools.
Consider these… Policy Purpose Potential
Policy Outcome 4 District/School leaders and other educators monitor and use data to increase the degree of alignment of each and every student’s enacted curriculumand other relevant educational opportunities to the Iowa Core. (intended curriculum)
Purpose & Potential If district/school leaders (administrators, teachers, and the school board) and other educators monitor and increase the degree of alignment between the intended, enacted, and assessed curriculum, then the quality of instruction will improve and student learning and performance will increase.

The mindset necessary for this work: • Not evaluative or judgmental • Requires bothindividualwork and collaborative work • Individual reflection and data entry • Collaborative conversations and data analysis
