Looking at the CMS’ Dashboard
CMS Dept. Chairs looked at our 2019 California Dashboard results. Reflective questions were asked and discussed:
  • What are our strengths/highlights?
  • What are our areas of growth/focus and what might be contributing to this?
  • What would parents of SPED, African American and SES students ask/want to know/say?
  • What are the ways we can address our areas of growth?
The summarized responses are in the hyperlinked graphic below. You can also view the published data on the 2019 CMS Data Dashboard.

Mark 3 Grading Breakdown:
Here is a breakdown of our grades, by department, for Mark 1, Mark 2 and the end of the first semester (Mark 3).

Teachers, as you look at the data, please reflect on the first semester’s grades in your class and consider asking the same questions from our Dashboard break down above:
  • What are my strengths/highlights?
  • What are my areas of growth/focus and what might be contributing to this?
  • What would my parents of SPED, African American and SES students ask/want to know/say?
  • What are the ways I can address our areas of growth?
