NGAPS Focus:

Level Up initially focused its work on staff professional development and analyzing desired learning outcomes for the school. The school will continue its work in a Two-Fold approach:

• Designing and using formative assessment, focusing on critical student learning outcomes
• Identifying the critical school wide student outcomes

The formative assessment piece will be designed and implemented in April. Critical schoolwide outcomes will be developed with the leadership team and assessment consultant with assessment measures, professional development, and implementation. The timeline for the second element is still beng determined.
