What’s the Value of AGT?
LAUSD released AGT reports for teachers and schools across the District earlier this school year– Now What?Come and share your thoughts and suggestions as Teach Plus and LAUSD partner together to hold important conversations around the use of Academic Growth over Time (AGT) in our schools. Join Noah Bookman, LAUSD Director of Performance Management, and classroom teachers as we discuss critical topics such as the use of AGT scores in teacher evaluations, how schools and teachers can use AGT scores in daily practice, and how the District can better communicate with teachers regarding the use of student growth data.
This event will be held four separate times in different Local Districts to best accommodate your busy schedule. Each event will consist of an overview of AGT, a robust conversation with real teachers, and live teacher feedback via audience polling technology. A reception with free appetizers will follow each event. Please make sure you bring your voice and colleagues to a discussion that will deepen your understanding and allow you to share your concerns on the use of student growth data in LAUSD schools.
