Data Walls

One of the newest innovations for teaching and learning is to post the data on the walls of school where it can be accessible to students and visitors.  Third and fifth grade have started working on their data walls.  Here are their displays.

Third grade displays the overall scores for reading.

Fifth grade shows their DIBELS scores and how the grade level is improving

Fifth grade recognizes individual student growth.
You will be seeing more of these around our school!
