As you know PLTW is very excited about transitioning to our new Assessment System and our partnership with the Northwest Evaluation Association. I am writing you to seek your support in helping us ensure that 100% of the PLTW teachers get trained on the new system and administer Growth Assessments. We have put together the top four reasons for teachers to take the time from their busy schedules to complete the assessments for you to use in your communication to them. We would love it if you would send out a communication to your email list of PLTW teachers to encourage those who have not yet done so - to register, get trained, and administer assessments. The top 4 reasons for administering the assessment program are:
1. The combination of pre-and post-growth assessments will provide teachers with detailed information that can be used to inform instruction and help students reach their potential. Teachers will benefit from hard data on where each student is in their academic progress in math and science. PLTW will also be able to leverage these results to improve the curriculum and programming.
2. PLTW partners - from teachers and school districts to philanthropists and corporations - have expressed a desire for data on student performance to help with securing funds to implement the program. The new Assessment System will help address those needs, which will help all of us achieve our goal of creating the next generation of innovators.
