School Improvement and the Dearborn Teacher University

Year One Staff navigate NWEA and SAT Classroom Reports

Over 50 new professional staff members spent the November session of the Dearborn Teacher University professional development workshop being introduced to the world of summative assessments. The high school staff, led by Dearborn High Coordinators, Christine Rosbury and Laurie Lintner, spent the hour examining the the various resources and tools that are available to classroom teachers to support their instruction and preparation for the SAT. 

For our new elementary and middle school professional staff, Duvall principal Bob Attee, provided an informative session on how to read and understand the information provided on NWEA reports. The participants were instructed on how the MAP and MPG student, class and grade level reports can increase their students’ achievements in the areas of Reading, Math, Language Usage and Science. The presentations from both sessions are available on the Dearborn Teacher University tab under “PD Presentations.”

As a reminder, be sure to register for our next Dearborn Teacher University PD on December 18, 2018. There will be two sessions offered. High School from 2:40-3:55 and Middle School/Elementary 4:10-5:25. The topic will be SIOP Strategies.
