Digging in to the impressive gains 11th graders showed on their high school ACAP test (which is the ACT). Can’t wait to talk with principals about how they motivated students to do so well. #aledchat @aldailynews

#ALBOE work session is underway. Getting a look at state level ACAP scores from spring. Good news for 8th grade (one of the most challenging grade levels to improve scores) and good news in science.
