Triangulating data is an essential practice for administrators in California schools today. In determining progress by students, site administrators must study patterns and trends of success based on results on state and local assessments. The purpose of this workshop is to describe the process used by a local district to conduct regular "touch-point" meetings with site administrator at schools predominantly represented by high percentages of Latino students, English learners, and of low socio-economic status.

Emphasis of this workshop will be on meetings intended to validate EL progress after analysis of:

• Success indicators based on EL results on state metrics (SBAC: ELA/MATH)
• Success indicators based on EL results on local metrics (District Benchmarks)
