The Every Student Succeeds Act state planning is in full swing in Delaware. After having community conversations in each county, the Delaware Department of Education formed two discussion groups, one for Measures of School Success and Public Reporting and the other for Students and School Supports. The groups met together for the first time on October 5th in a joint meeting for introduction purposes. The first solo meetings for both groups was on October 10th. The next meeting will be tonight at the Collette Center in Dover, at 6pm.
Below are the minutes for each meeting. Full disclosure, I am on the Students and School Supports Discussion Group. The Governor’s ESSA Advisory Committee will meet Wednesday evening in the House Majority Hearing Room at Legislative Hall, from 6pm to 8pm.
The Exceptional Infinite 
I’ve seen this movie before, in 2011:
“We were supposed to have a big metrics workshop. What happened?”
Student support should include real-time tracking of daily assignment completion and daily grades, and – this is the most important – effective intervention for individual students within 72 hours of their falling behind. Waiting for quarterly or annual assessments is too ridiculously late.
