Vision 2026:
Academic Excellence Strategies 1
Implement learning acceleration strategies and programming.
Academic Excellence Strategies 2
Design and implement a balanced assessment system.
Policy:
Background The Vision 2026 strategic plan includes strategies for learning acceleration. It also includes the tactic, “Implement effective monitoring and assessment tools to measure progress for academics and social emotional needs of students.” FastBridge is the testing platform that replaced Scantron Achievement Series starting this school year and is being used to measure progress. FastBridge was selected as the district interim assessment after a committee of teachers and administrators reviewed various assessment products during the 2021-22 school year. At the Board of Education meeting on May 11, 2022, the Student Learning Feature included a written report with specific information on FastBridge prior to the implementation for the 2022-23 school year.
