The Measures of Academic Progress data retreat yesterday was the highlight of my day. Andrea, Brenda, Beth and Julia...GREAT JOB! I was on fire watching the teams with their laptops and the use of the white board to jump into our data warehouse Viewpoint. Hearing how buildings use this to set goals to drive instruction is something beyond what I've seen in my career. WOW!
Just think of the accomplishments this past year (and I'm sure I've forgotten somethings):

- Meetings driven by strategic agendas

- Professional growth plans and evaluation of ALL administrators
- Adopting frameworks to guide our work
- Setting the goal of 5000+ Learning Walks

- Data teams working diligently with our data warehouse
- Learning cohorts operating to impact achievement
- RTI coaches and AYP lead teachers assisting teachers in the classroom
- Implementing finance and HR software...Skyward
