Building Capacity in Yourself to Effectively Partner with Others

States and school districts are incorporating growth models into a range of accountability and evaluation systems at increasing rates. However, there is no single universally accepted growth model. This edWebinar explores the following key questions: What are the characteristics of appropriate assessments to measure student growth? What factors are used to measure growth? What are the various types of growth models being used in schools? What technical criteria should be applied when evaluating a “growth model”?

Collecting accurate, secure student enrollment data can be cumbersome, and manual processes often lead to errors, frustrated parents and staff, and little insight into upcoming class sizes and hiring needs. In this webinar, you’ll hear how Teton County School District #1 used PowerSchool Unified Administration™ Enrollment, seamlessly integrated with their PowerSchool SIS, and reduced time spent enrolling students by 60%. “We went from always having to follow up with parents to a huge time savings advantage for everyone,” said Kim Byrne, District SIS Administrator. “The product is a joy to use.”

Even before the coronavirus pandemic descended upon schools, teacher absences were on the rise, leading to an increased demand for substitute teachers who were often in short supply, according to a new survey from the EdWeek

Data has become an important part of how we think about and manage education. But not everyone understands how to interpret data—let alone how to use it to drive learning decisions. How can K-12 districts make a difference with data? And how can district leaders encourage educators to use data to inform instruction? In this live panel discussion led by Dr. Kecia Ray, you’ll learn strategies that can help your district rethink its approach to data analytics and use data to truly inform instruction and spark a data transformation. So you and your staff can find the right data and make the right decisions that will unlock students’ potential.
