At last night's LTVI JOINT GENERAL ADVISORY AND SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL MEETING I learned something I already knew but it applies to not only TECH but to schools across the district.
It illustrates the sad reality of the distortion of data leading to a less than accurate reflection. Even though some significant gains were made in the MCAS data, I'm not sure if we are that much closer to moving from a LEVEL 3 school to a LEVEL 2 school. The reason being since the LEVEL system has you ranked against each other INSTEAD of whether or not actual learning is taking place you're placed in the position of rooting for other schools to be bad to elevate your standing.
