3-5 IAR and ISA Testing

 This year we will work with our staff to take the state assessments prior to going on spring break.  The rationale for this decision is to try to stay away from over assessment that occurs between Rigby, state assessments, and I-ready tests.  We will focus on state assessments prior to break and then beginning end of the year assessments after break.  The testing window for IAR and ISA will be March 13-17 testing window, make up March 20-23.  The IAR and ISA data is not often used for instructional decisions.  In fact, the data from last year is just coming to the public October 30th.  The state assessment data is just used for PD trends and analysis of overall global programming.  Our emphasis on data to drive instructional decision making is local assessment data and student learning observation.
