"Are you ready to access a powerful practice that can drive breakthrough growth? In this session, instructional leaders will explore practical ways to use Lexile and Quantile measures from state assessments and programs like i-Ready to power student growth across the school year. Principals from two districts will share how this approach transformed their schools’ growth outcomes by helping teachers connect assessment data to student goal setting and tracking in meaningful, actionable ways. Participants will learn how to combine multiple data sources to reveal full learning profiles, identify gaps, and plan precise instructional moves that accelerate growth. By turning test results into a yearlong roadmap for monitoring progress, educators strengthen their collective capacity and make growth visible at every stage. Using Lexile and Quantile measures as growth markers has proven especially powerful, resulting in measurable gains in EVAAS growth measures and empowering both teachers and leaders to continuously move students forward."
