Spring Proficiency Based Progress Exit Slip Data Collection
As part of our ongoing SIP goal data collection process, it is time to begin collecting our Spring data. Our Spring data is collected each year at the end of January and into February in order to process the data in time for any summative evaluations (both teacher and administration). The district will collect final PBP data in May this year as well. The next exit slip to monitor progress in PBP and students understanding the I can statements for each lesson, will be collected on January 27th during any 11:00AM classes. Remember if you do not have class at this time you do not need to collect data for the random sample. Please see the two forms below to share with your students at the 11:00AM period/time.
Please share with all 4th-12th grade students this google form exit slip
Please print for your students K-3rd grade this paper version for them to complete and send the paper versions to Sarah Mumm by the end of next week.
Thank you for all your hard work using I can statements and bringing student clarity to each and every lesson.
