Draft: Delta High School Action Plan
2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR
Aligned Assessments Our Vision for Aligned Assessments: Assessment is often thought of in terms of fixed numbers representing student achievement. However, numbers alone do little to support school improvement. A system of aligned assessments incorporates student performance data as but one benchmark for data-driven instructional decisions. At Delta High School, our intent is to develop an efficient and effective system of aligned assessments that will inform teaching and learning, ultimately leading to increased achievement for all Delta students.
