As we approach STAAR testing, the entire campus is data focused. We are focused on a number that represents growth, and percentage tied to overall success. What happens when you look deeper than the numbers to our students and who they are as a person? At Long, teachers are taking the time to break down what it means for student success. We are celebrating the 5% gains and understanding that students need a little TLC to create a growth mindset to even earn 1% of growth! During one instructional walk, Ms. Kather had her students write down on their growth goal onto to the front of the post-it and identify a skill that they needed to practice in order to achieve it.
We know our students are more than a number, but we also know that showing students their own data empowers them to be resilient and to strive to be their absolute best each day!
