TEACHER DECISION-MAKING
Effective leadership and decision-making are instrumental to the success of school improvement projects. BRT works to improve teacher decision making in testing programs. Decision-making needs to be referenced to add value and we provide expertise in three particular areas. From a norm-referenced view, we help teachers understand how students fit in groups. From a criterion-referenced view, we assist teachers in connecting learning with specific skills. And with an individual-referenced perspective, we provide teachers analytic skills for monitoring student progress over time. These three perspectives are incorporated into a complementary model for decision-making that provides dynamic feedback to educators in a ‘just in time’ model supported within a learning community.
