Sign Up for Differentiated Accountability Sessions NOW

Just a quick reminder to sign up for our upcoming Differentiated Accountability (DA) sessions.  Do you need to attend all 3 sessions?  District decision.  Here's a couple of things to think about:

1.  The FASTBridge session will not only cover use & interpretation of FAST data for fall screening,  but you'll also learn about report features, setting up interventions & progress monitoring.
2.  The Universal Instruction 2 day sessions are a repeat of last year's materials.  IF your DA data for % at Benchmark falls in the Intensive (0-59%) range, then we would strongly suggest you attend this 2 day training.

3.  IF you attended last year's Universal Instruction sessions and your data falls into the Supplemental (60-79%) or Universal (80-100%) then we would strongly recommend that:
  • your team is meeting on a regular basis to start working the Differentiated Accountability action plan.  
  • all PK-6 students are completing the Universal Screening assessment (i.e., FAST) 3 x per year.
  • classwide interventions are being used with classrooms that struggle to meet benchmarks
  • students that are not meeting benchmark are provided with a research-based interventions that will remediate the identified skill deficit
  • weekly progress monitoring occurs and is recorded properly
  • you CELEBRATE the successes you see. 
​4.  Make plans to attend the Intervention System training.  This session will focus on content learning, skill development, and action planning to further develop an effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to benefit all learners.  Determining and monitoring intervention effectiveness and alignment of interventions to student need will also be addressed. 

5.  Who should attend?  District/school team (3-5 members) is recommended because successful implementation of the work requires collaboration.  Consider including staff who make decisions about instruction, assessment and data use.  -
