McKinney ISD recently introduced a new approach towards monitoring system-wide student progress. In this session, the presenters will discuss ways to simplify the target setting process and identify critical transitions for students as they matriculate through the school system. This framework is built on the simple belief that if students are successful in meeting targets early on they are more likely to meet subsequent targets as they advance from one grade to the next. To support these efforts, the district partnered with a solution provider to personalize the work. With the help from IO Education, campus leaders were able to leverage virtual data walls as powerful testimony in identifying where to mobilize resources. Attendees will hear from two campus leaders in how they uniquely raised the bar for student learning. For one principal, this meant taking a high-achieving campus to the next level and creating the culture to support these expectations. For the other principal, where the student population was much more diverse, this meant challenging the naysayers and proving them wrong.
