MTSS CoP: Going Beyond State Tests; Measuring What Matters

This month’s conversation will be facilitated by a panel of experienced SPDG evaluators exploring how to set meaningful measures for student outcomes that go beyond state test scores. Topics will include formative assessments of academic skills, student engagement and attitudes, and improvements in social-emotional and behavioral health and well-being. You’ll come away with fresh ideas and practical strategies for measuring outcomes that are more proximal to your interventions.

Participatory Evaluation: Theories and Methods for Remote Work

I like this idea (from the attached) for our webinars: Agree/Disagree – Use as an icebreaker in the beginning of a session, or to stimulate participants by challenging them to think and encouraging their direct participation. A moderator sends a poll to the group with a series of provocative but non-divisive questions phrased in an agree/disagree format. All those who agree with the question can be asked to click agree and those who disagree can click disagree. Explanation for the varying views can be solicited from members of each respective group.
