Cannon Staff,
iStation Math/Reading Assessments are in full swing or crashing, it just depends on the moment. (Just remember to keep taking deep breaths.)
Language Arts: Beginning of the Year (BOY) writing assessments should be completed and scored in two weeks. The deadline for entering the data into Eduphoria is Monday, September 29th. To help aid you in scoring your expository and narrative pieces, there is an e-course in Eduphoria (Workshop) listed under Language Arts called Scoring Student Writing. This training is essential for new teachers and a great review for those of you familiar with the writing rubric. Let me know if you need help but please do not wait until the last week. Here is the link to the prompts if case you are having trouble finding them:
(You MUST be logged into your GCISD gmail account for these to open.)
Collecting the data is an important and soon we will begin the process of using it to drive our instruction. I leave you with two thoughts to ponder:
1. Data is only valuable when we take ACTION through effective instruction.
2. The three characteristics of an effective teacher are: a) has good classroom management skills, b) teaches for mastery, and c) has positive expectations for student success.
Remember, I am your supporter and biggest fan!! If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
