A1 Too many districts believe SLO's or SGO's are the answer to measure growth.

A1 - NWEA MAP tests are pretty common to benchmark student performance and ideally indicate EOY proficiency.

Feb 21 @ 8:09 PM EST
A1: quarterly benchmarks that are meant to measure student skills and content knowledge. Not a great measure in my opinion
