[quote=Anonymous]Measuring and audit things provides data both for objective results and reporting but also for asking deeper questions and making improvement. The number or % of students in advance classes is meaningful. For example when compared to the # of students in a school rated as gifted, or the average MAP/MCAP score for the same school, or when broken out by sub group and compared against % for other schools. A key complaint has been instructional level practices from one school to the next heck even one class to the next. When the pass percentage of AP Exams is very different between schools there are some root causes that need to be addressed. Likely rigor of class and preparation, prior preparation before class. But without measuring and looking at the data, no one would know or investigate. And like it or not there is some bias ( some unconscious and some intentional) that play into this).[/quote]
