Excerpts

This staff development was probably the deepest we had ever dug into our data. We used every identifier we could find to pinpoint our strengths and weaknesses. I even went so far as to providing my teachers with a picture of each and every student, noting their demographic data next to the picture and previous assessment results. My goal in doing that exercise was to remind teachers that we were dealing with the lives of real students and not just numbers on a page. It was a very empowering activity, since you could hear teachers' conversations; "I remember John, I had him in Kindergarten." Or my favorite "she was a very smart girl in first grade, what happened to her?" Those types of questions and conversations about our students reminded me of my sister. I wonder if Mavis' first grade teacher would have talked to her fifth-grade teacher, maybe they would have noticed her sinking grades and how she went from being a model citizen in class to a disruptive force just a few years later.
