Before we headed out to visit schools Friday morning (April 27), we were all invited to breakfast by Superintendent Dwight Jones. After breakfast Superintendent Jones spoke to us about the Clark County School District Ready by Exit growth model. With Kentucky beginning to implement a growth model, I found this presentation intriguing and informational. CCSD is so far ahead with the growth mdoel that they should serve as an example to all of us trying to use a growth model. In an effort to be completely transparent, their web page displays each school and where they scored on the growth model. For those of you familiar with NWEA MAP, the gridding is similar to NWEA's growth map.
The growth model they are using in the Colorado Growth Model, which Superintendent Jones and his copresenter, Dr. Kenneth Turner designed while working together in Colorado. I intend to follow their use of the Colorado growth model and learn from what they're doing.
