Hello Everyone,

This year the district will begin to collect the writing common assessment scores directly into Pearson Inform. By doing this we will ensure higher quality data since scores will not be passed from teacher to principal to instructional technologist before being entered into the system. This will also help us since Inform will only accept scores that we define (i.e. I will not be trying to decide if a 3/4 is a 3 or a 4).

You will find a video and written directions going over the steps teachers will have to take in order to enter the scores on the curriculum website on the Pearson Inform page. A direct link is http://www.wwpscurriculum.com/pearson-inform.html

For the winter collection this process will be optional for teachers. If you do not want to enter the scores into the system you will need to turn them into your principal as soon as possible so that we can begin to collect the data. If you decide to enter the scores in the system and you have any trouble please contact me and I will come out to you right away and work out any difficulties. For the Spring writing assessment teachers will be expected to enter the scores directly into Inform so this would be a good time to go ahead and give this process a try.

Thanks,

John
