(As of 12/10/2013)9The iPad giveawayand the Survey Says!10

With all this service and support for our STAR product line and BOCES partnership, we wanted to get a feel for how we were doing. So, now, lets review our survey results from the great iPad giveaway.just so that you know, many of these we will just gloss over since Bill will be going over them- we will focus for this discussion on those which relate to service/support1011

74% - met or exceedMostly 23% -

Demonstrated our partnership deliver collaborativelyData the most importantEase of use was next1213

What this is showing me is that those who have begun to use star are really using it beyond APPRthe fact that it offers so much more in the way of instructional planning and using the data to design instruction is encouraging. 1314

This was quite evenly distributedwhich leads me to wonder what we can do to help support our customers needs better in this area? Ideas tossed around build a co-authored handbook with BOCES for using STAR for APPR including sample SLOs, research/data behind SGP, ways to determine growth vs. achievement, accommodations and growth rates for SWD, OR create webinars for reports for APPR use, explaining data1415

How do you interpret the word implementation? How do you interpret the word setup? Did anyone in this room experience these issues and how would you rate our response time/ability to respond to those issues? What would/could we have done better?1516
