SUBJECT:
School LAND Trust/TSSA Planning – Helpful Assessment Data
With the School LAND Trust and TSSA Plans due on March 25th, principals have been encouraged to create data-informed goals and supports. The following Tableau dashboards may be useful as principals set those goals:
Middle Schools:
- RISE ELA, Math and Science – Overall proficiency is included as well as individual reporting category data for each content area.
- Cohort Percent Proficient Over Time – This dashboard looks at proficiency by cohort (i.e., Class of 2025 or Class of 2027) across school years.
- School Growth – Median Growth Percentiles (MGPs) for schools were calculated by the state and recently released. MGPs represent growth calculations for both RISE and Utah Aspire Plus combined.
- Utah Aspire Plus English, Reading, Math and Science – Overall proficiency and predicted ACT scores are included as well as reporting category data for each subtest.
- WIDA Access 2.0 – Overall proficiency is included as well as reporting categories and individual domains.
- Students Making Adequate Growth – This dashboard is based off of the EL Progress school accountability indicator.
Other Helpful Data:
- 2021-22 Stakeholder Input Survey – This is a good source for perception data on academic resources and supports from the perspective of faculty, students and parents.
- 2020-21 USBE School Climate Survey – This is a good source of perception data on school climate and culture.
- Longitudinal Demographic Data – Based on the Oct. 1 enrollment count, this dashboard will provide assistance with demographic population trends and patterns.
