Colleague Connections - Assessment and Data

Everett: 62% of Everett students are meeting Lexia Usage goals! This is reflected in student progress on grade-level skills. Students meeting usage goals who are working on skills in or above grade level increased by 18 percentage points. Students meeting usage goals working on skills two or more grade levels below decreased by 12 percentage points. Reach out to Karen to discuss her implementation and monitoring plan which is impacting student results!

* There are no district expectations for Lexia usage. Schools that opted in are encouraged to utilize the tool in ways that help them reach their student learning goals.  Lexia's own research shows that students show growth when they meet their suggested usage. Students that do not meet the recommended usage do not typically show impactful growth. These students may benefit from either increasing usage to meet the recommendation or from using time in a different way.

Murphy: The Mighty Murphy Team has a data-based student support team. This team uses data to monitor the effectiveness of behavioral interventions and collaboratively manage the cases of students that are struggling with social-emotional wellness. Reach out to Courtney to find out how she prioritizes time and leans into her team to get this work done.
