STUDENT LEARNING

Well, in terms of my school collecting data on students...I think the most important is SES status. The majority of my students have the means to have technology at home. This way, when I assign homework that requires technology, I know that everyone will be able to access the technology needed. I would never want to embarrass a student, so I think that is a very important issues. Also, I like that my school collects data on students with disabilities. I like using technology as a tool to meet their different needs. Lastly, I have seen my school collecting data on what the "feeder" high schools are using. Feeder high schools are the school that "most" of our students attend after our school. They are mostly private high schools in Dallas. So we look at what technology they use with their freshman students, and what they are expected to know. This trickles all the way down to us in elementary school starting the foundations!
