Recap

Easy• to implement• to administer• to move from data to action

What problems does CPAA help teachers solve?

1. How can I identify which of my students are on track to meet end of year expectations and who is at risk for falling behind?

2. How do I figure out what my students are ready to learn and where they may need more work on foundational skills?

3. How can I challenge my high-performing students?

4. How can I match students with instructional activities that are targeted to their current level of understanding?
