Using NECAP Data

The goal is to increase student achievement
Engage in collaborative discourse about data-Using relevant, timely data to influence decisions is considered a best practice
Discussion of data requires a structured approach-Protocols, ground rules, and shared talk time
Our focus is using NECAP data to assess school-level achievement, NOT individual student achievement
-Look for trends and patterns
