Common Assessment
NHA has done extensive research around their initiative to improve fidelity with common assessment administration. They have found through internal analysis and external research that taking our common assessments improves learning results. Our Information and Analytics team found “the odds of a student who completes all of their common assessment assignments being proficient on Interim 1 were 47% higher than those students who did not complete their common assessments.”
Staff Meeting
Starting at 3:45, please go to the staff
lounge to sign
in, pick up documents, and grab some snacks. Our staff meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 pm in
the gym.
