Data Exhibitions Around the School
Mrs. Gersten’s class is tracking their STAR Data in a creative way….. “Get the Scoop on STAR Data” is the title of their data wall. The students’ numbers are placed in their STAR achievement color and it makes a great visual for making instructional decisions. Great Job!

******VISUALS of BEST PRACTICES*****
In Ms. Bailey’s 1st grade class,
students take ownership over independent work by using a checklist to keep up
with their daily choices. Centers are differentiated and geared towards the
standards in the math unit being covered. Students know which centers to work
on based on their “Center Group” color folder. Answer keys and examples are
provided for certain activities so students can check their own work. Small
groups are being pulled daily, based on the needs of the students.
