CASe Study: Coventry, January 2012
|
|
|
Districts around the state are working to develop and refine their Comprehensive Assessment Systems. In an effort to highlight successes and encourage learning from each other, RIDE has developed a CASe Study to show how one district has approached this work. In the accompanying presentation to the Coventry School Committee in January 2012, Assistant Superintendent Jim Erinakes and Professional Development Coordinator Amy Anzalone describe the process of developing their elementary assessment system and many of its key features.
