Connecting Assessment Data to the Curriculum (District Spotlight Session)
Tuesday July 1, 2025 10:15am - 10:15am EDT
There is so much assessment data available to educators, but to use that data to improve student performance we must craft a story that connects that data to curriculum, assessment, and instructional practice. In this session, we will explore connections between the student achievement data most meaningful at your district and learn how to draw a direct connection from that data to your district curriculum.

Session Objectives: 
  • Explore a variety of standards-based assessment data and how it can be presented to teachers to drive curricular evaluation and decision-making 
  •  Identify target student performance indicators or areas of focus in your district and strategize how to use that data and your curriculum to plan for data conversations with teachers
