The GOAT @TimShanahan1 says it best: Assessment has a time and place, but don't let the stopwatch run the classroom.

We want readers, not kids with a case of the DIBEL-itus!

Another reminder that data is what you make it and grain size matters. Large-grain assessments reveal broad patterns, while fine-grain data tell the fuller story. This speaks directly to the daily work of our grade level teams. The score alone doesn’t tell the whole story. 📘👇

Empowered teachers create empowered learners. Proud to see our Pinewood team leading, learning, and growing together!
