    5. Moving Forward – Needs Assessment Using Eclipse software, determined districtwide student learning needs. Example: 100 percent of our schools scored below or well below proficient in statistics and probability questions. Identified very specific “high impact” areas on WKCE. Identified score trends over time, eliminating the argument that the results are “too dated” to be helpful. Using a survey instrument, matched teacher perceptions of professional learning needs with documented student learning needs. Identified a significant “awareness gap” (e.g., teachers perceive they are presenting content with a high degree of instructional efficacy; however, results indicate that students may not be learning the content).
