22. The why and how of important beginning of the year data collection

It’s time to teach!  Where do you even start? If you have a good curriculum and a strong grade level or department team, the support to help you plan will be embedded in your school.  But that doesn’t replace the need to learn more about where your students are and what they know before instruction begins.  We call this screening assessment and we are diving into this important topic today.

Show your support for the show!  If you like what you hear, I would be tickled if you bought me a coffee:  https://bmc.link/readingdivZ

There are many resources you could pull from, but you may want to start here.
