Tuesday's Webinar

The next NLSA Best Practice webinar will be conducted on October 18, at 1:00 PM Eastern time. It will feature some of the Best Practices currently implemented at Trinity Lutheran School in Waconia, Minnesota. A description of those practices can be found below.

Trinity will share their best practice of MAP testing and its impact on the academic growth of students.  Northwest Evaluation Association – NWEA, has developed an adaptive test, Measure of Academic Progress – MAP, that establishes a student’s precise instructional level, and which areas to focus on for academic growth; compares academic progress with other children in the class, grade, school and district; and tracks a student’s academic growth over a school year / several years.  Students become active participants in their academic growth while teachers are given the data to design instruction to meet the needs of every student.

Trinity will also share what we are doing in the area of Intergenerational Learning.  We will talk about ways we are connecting our students in meaning ways with our seniors and talk about the impact it is having on both students and seniors.
