Using State Data to Identify School Improvement Goals

What can we learn from our MEAP data?

School teams will work through a gap analysis of their school performance on MEAP against state targets to identify their school improvement goals using the Data 4SS General Proficiency and Subgroup Performance Reports.

Teachers will compare their class results to school results, analyze strengths and challenges of current students, and identify personal instructional implications.

School teams will develop a game plan to engage staff in the analysis of their school and class data.
