API Isn’t Everything…. But….
CA schools are rated by this number. Conversation needs to continue by
department. Analysis of Data (specific to content clusters) Effectiveness of instructional/intervention strategies
used in 08-09 Alignment of instructional content to State Standards Ideas for refining lesson delivery (cognizant of students'
learning style) Teaching accountability - all students need to take
ownership in their learning
from Good to Great – Jim Collins
“No matter how much you have achieved, you will always be merely good relative to what you can become. Greatness is an inherently dynamic process, not an end point. The moment you think of yourself as great, you slide toward mediocrity will already have begun.”
