Superintendent of Research to publish measurable improvement other than SAT-9
and API, At times the hard to measure results holds more meaning, The
Superintendent gave an example of one teacher of the year who may not he an expert
in standards but has created and published a book with individual student’s diary.
The Research Department is involved in every process to establish district-wide
high-performance goals. Every reform effort must be supported by data,
Multiple measures are used by the district such as district test, state test, academic
tests, and college entrance tests. The first notebook of test results of these multiple
measures are provided by the Research Department in August to every school within
the district. This information provides the school with validation to guide the
instructional practice in increasing student performance, This year, the Co-
Principals used the data on reading scores in the SAT-9 at all grade levels to not only
establish literacy classes at the ninth and tenth grade levels but to have a school-wide
focus in literacy. In math, teachers are encouraged to read the text to the students as
