= SHARED PROPOSALS (Week V and VI) =

==1. Develop a District Assessment Policy for Assessment: == ==== Through a district data retreat workshop, groups from every school in the district, including administration, would meet. Each team will analyze the school’s effectiveness and set goals for improvement. The goals for improvement would encompass reflect the learning target of the students and the school district’s assessment policy. Through collaboration each team will leave the retreat with plans for improvement to roll out at each building level. ==== ==== The school district will have universal screeners, benchmark assessments and common assessments for teachers to utilize so every school is on the same page. This way we are comparing data from the same assessments. All staff will be trained on the chosen assessments that are recommended by a committee of teachers and administrators. Assessment schedules would need to be followed by every school. Assessment results would be shared in a timely manner with staff as results are needed to drive instruction. ==== == 2. Develop a Plan for Teacher Involvement in the School Assessment Plan which will be aligned to the District Assessment Policy: == ==== A committee of teachers and administrators would develop the assessments that the district would adopt. All staff will be trained at the beginning of the school year on the chosen assessments and assessment practices/policy for the school district. Staff would also be trained on Stiggins’ 5 step process of classroom assessment. At monthly in-district professional development days, staff at every school will continue to learn more about assessment and how to choose, design and write formative assessments for their classes. Throughout this process, staff will learn each step that encompasses the assessments and how to use the assessments to drive instruction and meet the learning goals for each student. ==== == **3. **Develop a Plan for Student Involvement in the Assessment Process: == ==== Teachers would communicate assessment results in private conferences with each student in their classroom. By involving students throughout the process, students will understand the learning targets so they can assist in setting goals for themselves. Students will be involved in assessing and tracking their learning and achievement. Teachers would also help students learn the process for self reflection and evaluation through regular communication in conferencing and mini classroom workshops. ====
