In the shadow of high-stakes state testing and accountability, sometimes “assessment” can feel like a four-letter word (test). There is a lot of weight attached to an accountability rating, and the direct relationship between that rating and student performance on a state test can make that test into the boogie man.

As we all know, budgeting for a school district is not quite the same as budgeting for a traditional business. You can't exactly go out and sell more of whatever thing to fill the gaps in your budget, and your funding affects more than just your bottom line - it affects the kids in your district.

Specifically, these top 10 budgeting tips from Forbes Magazine can be helpful when sitting down to plan.

I was encouraged when I recently read that TEA and “various teacher organizations” came to an agreement on the meaning and importance of the inclusion of a student growth component to a balanced evaluation system. It is crucial to the health of an evaluation system that everyone involved understand and support the entire process.
A few years back I had the opportunity to work for a term as an instructional coach at a Scottish boarding school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One of the campus initiatives that year was to have every teacher develop personalized professional learning plans.
We want Strive to be a safe place for real professional growth, where goal-setting can be honest and include meaningful self-evaluation.
We are so very excited to be in the final stages of the release of Strive, the newest addition to the Eduphoria suite. Strive has been designed from the ground up to provide the one-stop interface for all parts of the professional growth cycle.
