Rather than using traditional systems that incorporate nonacademic factors such as attendance and behavior, this webinar will help you learn to assess and report student performance based on prioritized standards.

Teachers should endeavor to be experts on the subject of assessment protocol. In order to make reliable decisions about student achievement, assessments must be of high quality. In addition, improved teacher expertise in terms of assessment practice can have a significant impact on student achievement—up to a 34-percentile gain. This webinar will focus on presenting a new and innovative view regarding classroom assessments.

During this interactive webinar, expert Cameron L. Rains will detail the connections between the PLC at Work process and the HRS framework across the five levels, and share how each level positively impacts students, teachers, and parents.

The key to successful school improvement is to establish and sustain systems focused on “the right work.” The High Reliability Schools (HRS) model provides a systemic approach for strategic planning and sustained school improvement within five different levels of operation.

This webinar will focus on scheduling within personalized competency-based education (PCBE) systems.

Participants will also learn strategies to effectively organize students and differentiate instruction within a classroom, based on student needs.
