Student Learning Data: Moving Beyond Scores to Student Success
Assessment results should do more than identify who is struggling—they should help educators understand why students are succeeding or struggling and determine the next instructional response. Participants will explore the purpose of universal screening, diagnostic, formative, summative, progress monitoring, standardized, and authentic assessments while learning how each contributes to an effective MTSS framework. Leaders will evaluate their current assessment system to ensure every assessment serves a clear purpose and supports instructional decision making.
