In this session, participants will take a closer look at the grade-level assessment data captured in their inventory to evaluate whether their district's assessment system is truly working as a coherent whole. An effective district assessment system must be intentionally designed so that tools and practices work together to provide a complete and coherent picture of student performance and progress, which means identifying both redundancies and gaps is a critical part of this work. Teams will have structured time to analyze their data, discuss how results are being used to drive instruction and support students, and develop a concrete plan for next steps. Resources for continued planning will be shared to support implementation back in the district.
