Are We Asking the Right Questions? PD

This professional development takes participants through a process to

support students in asking questions, and how to generate strong test

questions that truly measure student mastery.

This training has been offered at DPI four times.

We have also visited (and continue to visit) districts that

GRS Designation or Acknowledgement

1. Schools can earn the Global-Ready School (GRS) Designation at either the “Prepared” or

Schools will use the state average for their school grade configuration:

– In addition, schools must meet or exceed their expected yearly growth.

These measurements are based on the data from the school year preceding the application year.
