A day of professional development in August for 10 teachers to follow up on DESE grant funded Avant Advance proficiency training and make data based recommendations for proficiency targets based on the 8th grade STAMP 4-S assessment given in June.
This is a new approach in that this will be the first time that we have given the STAMP 4S assessment to our 8th graders. It is part of a DESE grant that, among other goals, encourages us to adjust our programming to meet the needs of multilingual learners and to possibly expand our program options to meet the changing needs of the NPS community.
