"Determining Current Reality"  

Core Concepts

    One of the initial steps in changing practice involves determining where we want to be and gaining a true understanding of where we currently are with effectively implementing content and performance standards in a technology-rich engaged learning environment. This step involves identifying a needs assessment that will provide an adequate picture of the "current reality" and determining how that information will be used to help the school move forward.

  • How will this data inform your decisions about the next steps, school improvement, etc?
