4Ps of Assessment and the New Improved Google Doc

New team, new Google doc .  I have prepared a slightly altered Google doc for this additional team. One that will hopefully help this team wrap their head around the whole 4 P thing and start thinking about the four areas of assessment as part of their daily practice. Of course I will not be expecting this team to be ready to fill out the doc with information on all three areas (the fourth area is summativ
e and won't be appropriate until later in the year).  Data team is a process of growth for everyone. My hope for our first meeting is that most teachers will have filled out most on their Predicting data and a few teacher will have filled out their progress monitoring data. I would be very exited if one or two teachers filled out information about the area of need and current interventions for the child they want to talk about (But that would be like Christmas!) New processes are hard and any paperwork may feel like the straw that broke the Special Education Teacher's back. I understand this and I understand that until a teacher gets a taste of getting better feedback and intervention because she was pre-prepared, she will see this as just another task.  Of course I will be giving out incentives and lots of Shout Outs! Who knows, I may be surprised!

For the details: The new doc separates the Current SSD/Partner District data column (column F) into three columns (F-H), one each for Predicting data, Planning data, and Progress Monitoring data. Each column has examples of the type of data that is intended.  The column for Progress Updates now reads Progress Updates/Performance Data.
