The number one job of educators is to be faithful to authentic student learning. At times, education can be overly fixated on results from one test, from one day, given near the end of the school year. We know that standardized testing data can be useful; however, we spend the entire year collecting all sorts of immediate and valuable information about students that informs and influences how we teach, as well as where and what we review, readjust, and reteach. In this section, you'll learn how our teachers collect student data and some of the ways we use it.
