Identifying & Telling Your Charter Success Story

Our student data team partnered with the Maryland Alliance of Public Charter Schools to develop a series of webinars and accompanying tools aimed at supporting school leaders in identifying and effectively communicating their school’s success story using data. Check them out below, or on the MD Alliance’s Charter Renewal Resources website, here.

Webinar 1: The first step to prepare for charter renewal is to understand your authorizer’s expectations, the unique elements of your school’s program and student population, and to identify what you want to convey as part of your renewal application. This webinar sets your leadership team on track to complete this step. 

Webinar 2: It is critical to understand longitudinal assessment data for your school and for your student subgroups to make your case for renewal. This webinar will teach you how to use data from the Maryland Report Card's MCAP data to highlight your school's data and compare it to other schools or your district. 

Webinar 3: A great way to tell your school's data story during renewal is to get beyond state assessment proficiency. This webinar will teach you how to analyze the Maryland Report card to learn about your school's performance and compare it to other schools or your district.
