District Assessment Advisory Group

  • AAPS Advisory Groups > Asessment Advisory
    This is the 5th year of the Assessment Advisory. The Advisory has a balanced base of participants comprised of AAPS staff and community members---most are parents with children attending the Ann Arbor Public Schools.

    The Advisory focused largely on learning about the elements of our current assessment portfolio and how district assessment data is used in the classroom to impact teaching and learning. The Advisory studied a number of "promising practices" and made recommendations to improve upon our public sharing of the assessment calendar to enhance understanding amongst all stakeholders. The Advisory is currently completing a year-end report advising the Superintendent on "promising practices" the Advisory recommends for district support. I recommend that this Advisory continue only if the District is able to move forward with the supports and assessment considerations reflected in the summary report.
