AdvancED Standard(s)
Goal 1: Promote professional growth and improvement of instruction to optimize student learning though:
(AdvancED Standard: Governance and Leadership, Teaching and Assessing for Learning, Using Results for Continuous Improvement)
Data Teams and Vertical Assessment Teams /

Data Teams: Deconstruct standards, identify daily learning targets, develop formative/summative assessments aligned with targets, administer common assessments, collaboratively analyze results, and collaboratively make instructional decisions based on timely data.

Vertical Teams: Develop math and ELA assessments in vertical teams giving professional feedback on all assessments under construction.

If teachers deconstruct standards to identify clear targets and build common assessments on those targets, then instruction will be aligned with CCGPS and will be data driven.

If teachers review assessments being developed throughout the school and give specific feedback on understanding of targets and rigor, then both assessment and instruction will be vertically aligned.
