I can only answer some of the questions.

Of course we need data but we need to be able to use it.

[b]Data can always be used, if not today, or tomorrow, later on, even next year. No, even next year, is not too late.[/b]

It's now November what are we going to do with it now?

[b]Yes, it is, so we still have about half of the curriculum to maybe change or enhance. Still better than nothing.[/b]

Also why are we using it to evaluate teachers, what was PARCC designed for teachers or students?

[b]As a teacher, cannot answer that. Ask dcps as they implemented it. I think PARCC was designed for creating a better student. Standards just tell teachers what they should teach. Standards are what students should know/learn/master[/b]

What does the data tell us about the skills of the lowest performing students, how far can we did into the data and who has access to it?

[b]The data says a lot about LPS. They are low. Why? That I can't answer. Each LPS could have one or more reasons why they are low. The data will come, just be patient. I found out about the scores today just like everybody else, through the dcps website and press release.[/b]

How much time should be spent on acquiring this data and by what means?

[b]My suggestion: don't waste your time. It will come.[/b]

If it is computerized why did it take so long to get the results?

[b]Obviously not in my hands. Ask DCPS or OSSE or even PARCC.[/b]

[b]I hope that helps.[/b][/quote]
