Data-Driven Instruction

• AM 2.5 hrs– Balanced Assessment System– Six Shifts of DDI– Assessment Construction 101– Process for getting from SLO to calendar for

common formative/interim assessments– Process for getting first assessment done

• PM 2.5 hrs– Work time (w/ support)– Should be replicable for other interims

Culture

• PLCs at Work Summit– Syracuse “too small” ???– Suggesting “hybrid” event for CNY: “We prefer

to use the term hybrid event because this is not going to be like sitting at your computer or watching the conference on TV. This is a multifaceted, participatory, and guided alternative experience that captures the collaborative dynamic of the conference.”

– July 17-19, or August 5-7 available

Long-term Planning

Assessment

How many scorers does it take to score a Regents exam?

Regents Scoring

3-8 Scoring
