Interim Superintendent's Weekly Message
Dr. Debbi C. Burdick
|
It has
been wonderful visiting our schools and attending Curriculum Nights
and Open Houses. It is evident that staff and students alike are
back in the "swing of things" and focused on teaching and learning.
During the past several weeks our schools have been very busy with a
learning tool we call "benchmark assessments." Cave Creek School
District administers benchmark assessments to our students three times
per year in August, December - January and April or May. The
purpose of benchmarking is to periodically assess student growth in
math, reading and writing. Teachers use the data gathered from
the assessments to assist students and then plan for their instruction.
Students in Kindergarten - Tenth Grade have been participating in
the reading and writing benchmarks and students in First through Tenth
Grade have been participating in math benchmarks. Our benchmarking goal
is always to help our students with learning. We hope to see you
in our schools!
