We have been using DE Assessment in our middle school for four years. The data we receive from the assessment results is absolutely essential to our “data-based” school improvement. The state of TN is working now to devise an assessment from the Department of Education. Of course, the easiest way to make that happen is
Franklin Day of Discovery Update
They say you should never start a speech with an apology. I’m not sure if that applies to blogs or not. If it does, then I apologize for apologizing up front. I’m late in getting this post up from our Day of Discovery at Franklin High School in Franklin, TN. So let’s give you a
